Abstract

This experiment surveys ecological and morphological phase on Prasiola sp. in the mountain torrent of Chodang-ri, Keunduck-myon, Samchuck-gun, Kangwon-do, Korea from November 1968 through January 1970 and the results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The temperature of the surface water was 12.4$\pm$2.3$^{\circ}C$, and pH was 7.25$\pm$0.2. 2. The external forms of thallus are very variable, but its basic form likely lanceolated and ovated. 3. The length of thallus is 0.6cm-8.8cm (3.6$\pm$1.72cm), and the width, 0.2cm-5.5cm(1.7$\pm$0.92cm). (The inside of the parentheses the average for 500 individuals). 4. It is observed that thallus at the time of formation of a monospore is a monostratum cell whose thickness is 21$\pm$3.2$\mu$. 5. Thickness of thallus at the transveres section at the time of heteroplanogametes formation is 29.9$\pm$2.2$\mu$, and that of the female gametes cell is 6.3$\pm$1.7$\times$6.3$\pm$0.8$\mu$, and that of the male gametes cell is 2.8$\pm$0.6$\times$28.1$\pm$1.1$\mu$. 6. As for growth, it begins with apical growth, followed by marginal growth. It seems to grow, through cell division when microsopical papillae are produced in growth line cell of marginal rigion thus by fusioning microscopical papillae. 7. The two kinds of thallus, one produced from a monospore and other from a planozygotes, are both haplonts and observed as n-3. 8. It seems that a thallus sprouts in April and increases its number through a asexual reproduction by a monospore and begins a sexual reproduction in November by forming gametes. 9. Female gametes are produced 16 from one thallus cell, whose structure shows 8 cells in the surface view and 4 layers in transverse section. Male gametes are produced 128 from one thallus cell, 16 cells surface, 8 layers in transverse section.
