Abstract
IN studies on protonematal regeneration from gametophore leaves of Splachnum ampullaceum (L.) Hedw., it was found that isolation and not wounding is the most important factor in the realization of regenerative potentialities1. The removal of correlative inhibition by means of isolation initiates cellular dedifferentiation, followed generally by cellular redifferentiation. The present work was undertaken in order to investigate certain aspects of cellular dedifferentiation.
