Abstract
ABSTRACT
Jose Angelito U. Hardillo, University of the Philippines at Los Be.os, March, 1986. Induction of Sporulation and Gametophyte Development in Azolla microphylla Kaulf and Azolla pinnata, R. Brown. Adviser: Dr. Liwayway M. Engle.
The inducing effect of temperature and density on the sporulating ability of Azolla microphylla and Azolla pinnata was studied. The two strains were cultured at two different densities-high and low under two different conditions-screenhouse conditions (25.38°C and 29.99°C) and low temperature chamber conditions (17.68°C and 21.22°C). The study showed that high density and low temperature (17.68 and 21.22°C) induced sporocarp formation in Azolla microphylla and that both have interaction effect in inducing sporocarp formation in Azolla microphylla. High density and low temperature didn't show any inducing effect in Azolla pinnata. The study assumed that sporocarp formation in Azolla pinnata is regulated by other factors aside from density and temperature or the interaction of other physical and chemical factors. The gametophytic development in Azolla microphylla (418) was studied under the microscope.
