The influence of kinetin on regeneration of the protonema from isolated protoplasts of the moss Funaria hygrometrica L. Sibth

Urszula Nowak, Fortunat Młodzianowski

Abstract


No stimulating effect of kinetin was noted on formation of the cell wall surrounding isolated protoplasts of the moss Funaria hygrometrica, although kinetin at a concentration of 1µM distinctly accelerated division of cells obtained from protoplasts and stimulated formation of the protonema and gametophores. At higher kinetin concentrations (5 µM) protoplasts, and later cells, increased their volume, whereas regeneration processes took place considerably more slowly than in the control.
