DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES OF ERYTHROCLADIA ROSENVINGE IN CULTURE
1Department of Botany, Washington University, Saint Louis, Missouri 63130.
Abstract:
Erythrocladia subintegra has been cultured for over 3 years. The life history includes reproduction by monospores, a long period of ameboid motility by monospores, their germination and growth into monostromatic disk-shaped plantlets composed of adherent, often dichotomously branched filaments. Plants become centrally polystromatic with age and produce monospores. Variations in plant size and shape, cell size and shape, spore size, shape, and motility are discussed. Variations in plants of E. subintegra grown on different substrates have been studied and discussed in relation to other species in the genus.
