A Preliminary Report On The Comparative Morphology Of The Shoot Apex Of Isoetes Macrospora Dur. And Some Effects Of Experimentally Applied Indole-3-Acetic Acid And Gibberellic Acid, Daniel R. Zinda
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Isoetes macrospora Dur. was found growing in 20 inches to 4 ft. of water in several sandy-bottomed lakes in Itasca County, Minnesota. The pH of the lakes was about 6 and the characteristic tree species of the immediate shorelines were: Thuja occidentalis, Pinus resinosa, Abies balsomea, Populus tremuloides, and Betula papyrifera. Experimental and normal plants were grown submerged in 1-liler beakers in the greenhouse for the 2-week experimental period. The normal shoot apex of /. macrospora is described as having three zones. Zone I, the metrameristem, consists of the superficial layer of initials which divide usually by anticlinal divisions and …
