  • "The Oedogoniales are a remarkable group of filamentous green algae. Their method of cell elongation after mitosis is unique, seen nowhere else in the plant kingdom; it utilizes a donut-shaped ring of soft wall material which is stretched by turgor pressure into the shape of the new daughter cell. Oedogonium is a simple filament. The related Bulbochaete and Oedocladium are quite different: both are branched and the former differentiates numerous long hair cells. The zoospore is a large, multiflagellated cell with an extraordinarily complex flagellar apparatus. Sexual reproduction is oogamous and of two patterns, macrandrous and nannandrous, the latter relying extensively on hormonal interactions to synchronize sexual maturation. Differentiation of oogonia and antheridia is initiated by highly asymmetric cell divisions and fertilization is rapid and efficient. This video is an essential aid for those who teach phycology and will fascinate anyone who is interested in the way "simple" cells live and evolve."
