Abstract: | In the moss Physcomitrium sphaericum, we examined the numberof buds per filament, the position of buds, and the ratio ofbud-differentiated filaments when treated with cytokinin, inrelation to the increase in the number of cells per filament. When filaments of a young protonema were treated with cytokinin,many filaments did not differentiate buds. As the number ofcells in a filament increased, both the mean number of budsper filament and the ratio of bud-differentiated filaments increased.However, the position of bud differentiation was unaffectedby application of cytokinin. A higher concentration of cytokininincreased the mean number of buds per filament and the ratioof bud-differentiated filaments. The relationship between cytokinin, ageing of filaments andthe ability to differentiate buds is discussed. (Received June 17, 1985; Accepted September 9, 1985) |
