title: Regeneration of hydra damaged by zolone PM insecticide.
abstract: The zolone PM (phosalone) insecticide in the suspensions used destroys parts of the hypostome, ruins many buds and budless hydras. In the insecticide suspension a hydra shrinks and assumes the smallest surface. It is due to this that the surface mucous layer thickens and epidermal and gastrodermal cells become highly squeezed together. The insecticide penetrates the hypostomal opening and destroys hypostomal cells but does not act specifically upon a certain type of cells. Gradually, other cells replace the destroyed ones. They arrive from the gastrodermal region. Among them, zymogen cells, capable of differentiation und dedifferentiation into other types of cells, play the most significant part.
