Prolonged irradiation with red light and addition of sucrose to the basal medium induced two-dimensional growth in gametophytes of Pteris vittata. The results suggest that two-dimensional growth is controlled by the following three factors: 1. a photoreactive system which depends on blue light; 2. a
The localization of invertase, a key enzyme in plant carbohydrate metabolism, has been established in several higher plants, but there are no reports of it in ferns. The aim of the present work was to establish the localization of the previously reported acid invertase activity of Pteris deflexa in
Chitinase-A from a lycophyte Selaginella doederleinii (SdChiA), having molecular mass of 53 kDa, was purified to homogeneity by column chromatography. The cDNA encoding SdChiA was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends and polymerase chain reaction. It consisted of 1477 nucleotides and its open
