title: Effect of Cyclic 3',5'-Adenosine Monophosphate and Kinetin on Growth and Fertility in the Male Clones of the Moss Microdus brasiliensis (Dub.) Ther.
abstract: On basic medium the male clones of Microdus brasiliensis form normal gametophores, of which 18 % bear antheridia. Kinetin enhances the number of buds but inhibits the formation of normal gametophores. With cAMP the number of buds is reduced and the gametophores are also stunted. Co-addition of kinetin and cAMP increases the number of buds, improves the morphology of gametophores, and in some combinations bring about considerable enhancement in antheridial produ ction.
