In this paper we proposed a spatial modulated two-variable Martiel-Goldbeter model to describe the complex spatiotemporal disorder dynamical behavior during development of Dictyostelium discoideum strain FR17. As the nonlinear modulated parameter A and diffusion coefficient E varied, the system shows: 1) multiperiodic phase, 2) co-existence phase of chaotic and multi-periodic state, 3) spatiotemporal chaotic phase, 4) co-existence phase of chaotic, multi-periodic and steady state, and 5) co-existence phase of chaotic and steady state. These phases can be described by spatiotemporal power spectra, pattern distribution function and Lyapunov spectra. We believed that the complex spatiotemporal disorder dynamical behavior during development of Dictyosteliurn discoideum strain FR17 is a spatiotemporal chaotic state.
