Life Cycle of Riccia (With Diagram) | Hepaticopsida

In this article we will discuss about the gametophytic phase, reproduction and sporophytic phase in the life cycle of riccia. Gametophytic Phase of Riccia: The plant body of Riccia is gametophytic and gametophytes are fleshy, prostrate and dichotomously branched. Repeated dichotomy results into a typically rosette like appearance (Figs. 1, 3). In Riccia cruciata only two dichotomy result in a [...]

In this article we will discuss about the gametophytic phase, reproduction and sporophytic phase in the life cycle of anthoceros. Gametophytic Phase of Anthoceros: (i) External Features: The gametophytic plant body is thalloid, dorsiventral, prostrate, dark green in colour with a tendency towards dichotomous branching. Such branching results into an orbicular or semi orbicular rosette like appearance of the thallus. [...]
