Abstract

On basic medium the male clones of Microdus brasiliensis form normal gametophores, of which 18 % bear antheridia. Kinetin enhances the number of buds but inhibits the formation of normal gametophores. With cAMP the number of buds is reduced and the gametophores are also stunted. Co-addition of kinetin and cAMP increases the number of buds, improves the morphology of gametophores, and in some combinations bring about considerable enhancement in antheridial produ ction.
