Observations on the Development and Cytology of Sexual Organs of Achlya aplanes Maurizio var. indica Sak. et Dayal

Abstract

The process of development and cytology of the sexual organs of Achlya aplanes Maurizio var. indica was studied and found to be essentially the same as that of other members of the family Saprolegniaceae. There was only one nuclear division in the oogonium, and the decrease in the number of nuclei was due to degenaration. Present investigations clearly established the process of fertilization in the material studied.
