Abstract: | Nuclear divisions of carpospores, conchocelis and conchospores of Porphyra yezoensis, P. haitanensis, P. katadai var. hemiphylla and P. oligospermatangia from China were investigated. The observations showed diploid chromosome numbers of 2n = 6 for P. yezoensis and P. oligospermatangia, and 2n = 10 for P. haitanensis and P. katadai var. hemiphylla. For all four species, somatic pairing of chromosome sets was observed in late prophase. Sister chromosomes separated at anaphase as mitosis took place in carpospores, conchocelis filamentous cells, conchosporangial branch cells and sporangial cells (conchospore formation). Chromosome configurations of tetrad and ring-shaped in conchospore germination were observed, demonstrating the occurrence of meiosis. The characteristics of diploid nuclear division in 2n = 6 species are the same as those of 2n = 10 species. The influence of somatic pairing on nuclear division of diploid cells in Porphyra was discussed. |
