摘要
Patterns of cell elongation and differentiation were examined in a number of Audouinella spp. In all species examined, cells reached their maximum length within a few cells of the apex after which the length (and diameter) of cells became stable. No size differentiation of cells associated with lateral branches was observed, although the basal cells of lateral branches were usually smaller than those in the main axis (except in A. purpurea (Lightf.) Woelkerling and A. parvula (Kylin) Dixon). The position of the lateral branches on branch bearing cells showed little variation and could be used to develop quantitative characteristics for species delimitation. Early stages of development in A. secundata (Lyngbye) Dixon showed an increase in size of apical and subapical cells with plant height, with cell length decreasing toward the base. These developmental features confirm the simple morphology of Audouinella spp, and show that models of growth and differentiation proposed for the Ceramiaceae generally do not apply to the Acrochaetiaceae. © 1979, Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.
