Abstract
Amictic females of Asplanchna brightwelli produce significant proportions of mictic female offspring when given a diet containing a thermostable, probably alkali-labile substance in neutral lipid fractions of spinach leaves. Pigments and phospholipid fractions are without effect. The occurrence of the mictic female inducing substance in various algae and the ecology of the inductive response are discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
