| Abstract: | Treatment of the large coenocyte Caulerpa prolifera with a hormonallevel of GA2 resulted in increased elongation of the rhizomeand more frequent initiation of rhizoids when the hormone wasadded to the Erdschreiber culture medium. No effect of GA2 wasfound on the rate of initiation or elongation of blades. Theseresults suggest that the recently discovered gravimorphogeneticeffect on rhizoid development is mediated by endogenous gibberellin. Caulerpa prolifera, coenocyte, green alga, gibberellic acid |
