Abstract
Diploids of four species of desmids were produced in culture. Morphological and cytological evidence of their diploidy is presented. A possible tetraploid was also detected. It is suggested that diploidy also occurs in nature. The taxonomic position of various forms of diploids with respect to the haploid forms is discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
