At the beginning of the term each group of students selected 5 bryophyte samples to culture. Explants included spores, leaf/stem fragments, gemmae, and calyptrae. Students are recording their observations to determine the developmental stages different propagules go through during asexual reproduction.
Selected Tissue Cultures:
Atrichium
Aulacomnium androgynum
Buckiella undulata
Dicranum tauricum
Lulunaria cruciata
Pottia truncata
