Abstract
Treatment of the homosporous fern Ceratopteris thalictroides L. sporophyte with gibberellic acid results in fertile fronds appearing 3 to 5 weeks after treatment. The hetero-blastic leaf sequence is markedly reduced, and the entire life cycle can be completed in 3 months on defined medium. Treatment with gibberellic acid also stimulates the accumulation of starch in mature leaves.Entities:
