Temperature, Light and Nutritional Requirements for Gametangial Induction in the Moss Bartramidula bartramioides

The optimal conditions of temperature and light for gametangial induction in Bartramidula bartramioides are 25 ± 2⚬C and 3500 to 4000 lx of continuous illumination. Presence of sucrose is essential, 1% being most favourable. Full strength of nutrient solution (Knop's major plus Nitsch's mi...

Description
Summary:The optimal conditions of temperature and light for gametangial induction in Bartramidula bartramioides are 25 ± 2⚬C and 3500 to 4000 lx of continuous illumination. Presence of sucrose is essential, 1% being most favourable. Full strength of nutrient solution (Knop's major plus Nitsch's minor) supports best vegetative growth and maximum gametangial formation.
