In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of laminaria, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. Order Laminariales of Laminariaceae: This order contains the largest and most elaborately organized plant body of all algae. The members of this order, better known as kelps, are predominant plants of cold water. With the exception of the genus Chorda, the [...]
In this article we will discuss about the general features and phylogenetic relationships of rhodophyta. General Features of Rhodophyta: The Rhodophyta or red algae are almost entirely confined to the sea. Both fresh- and salt-water members of this group are comparatively few in number. The freshwater forms prefer well-aerated water. The marine forms are of world-wide distribution being predominantly represented [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of nemalionales. Family Batrachospermaceae: This family includes algae whose plant body is of soft, thick, gelatinous branched thallus differentiated into structures resembling nodes and internodes. Branches arise in whorls from the nodes. Asexual reproduction is by monospores and sexual reproduction oogamous by the development of carpogonia and spermatangia. Zygotic nucleus, divides [...]
