Abstract
The youngest nodes located under an apical bud of Chara vulgaris were isola ted and cultivated in the presence or absence of 10(-5) M GA(3) under labor atory conditions to form spermatozoids. GA(3) increased the DNA C-value in manubria by 20% and increased the number of spermatozoids per antheridium o ver 2-fold.
