Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Protonemal filaments in axenic culture share a mixture of attributes of chloronemata and caulonemata.
- Observation Tip cells contain cortical and endoplasmic microtubule arrays at interphase.
- Observation Phragmoplasts are associated with cell plate formation.
- Observation Pre-prophase bands are absent.
- Observation Protonemal plates originate from the same sites as filamentous protonemal side branches, or directly from young gemmae or excised stem fragments.
- Observation Protonemal plates have a cylindrical base, the latter produce a single gametophore bud, and a unistratose lamina.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid has no visible effect on protonemal morphogenesis.
- Intervention effect In the presence of kinetin the plates are callus-like.
- Intervention effect In the presence of kinetin the plates produce supernumerary buds.
- Intervention effect Abscisic acid induces malformed plates and filaments with swollen cells.
- Observation In nature, rhizoids are produced in abundance from gametophores and protonemal plates, but were never seen in culture.
- Observation In the wild, rhizoids produce numerous protonemal plates and occasional gametophore buds.
- Observation The protonemal plates are the main source of new shoots in the wild.
- Observation In nature, the filamentous protonemal phase mainly comprises upright filaments containing one or more abscission cells.
- Observation The protonemal plates of Tetraphis are homologous with those of the allied genus Tetrodontium.
- Observation The protonemal plates of Tetraphis are very different from those of Diphyscium and Sphagnum.
- Observation The gametophores produce gemma cups in culture.
- Observation The vegetative life cycle takes approximately 28 d in culture.
- Mechanism Differences between culture and nature are attributed to lower nutrient levels and irradiances in the wild.
