Abstract:
Treatment with sublethal doses of hydroxyurea inhibited the growth of young normal sporophytes of Pteridium aquilinum L. and favoured the formation of apogamous sporophytes on reversal to the medium lacing the drug. The addition of sucrose during the developmental phase of the induced sporophytes seemed to be beneficial as it increased the response. Apogamous sporophytus failed to develop on a medium containing ABA during the period of induction. However, its presence during developmental phase permitted their formation but the number was less than the control.
