Abstract
When the vegetative thallus of the gigantic unicellular marine alga, Boergesenia forbesii, is either placed in concentrated sea-water (×2.0) or subjected to mechanical stimulation (pinching with a pincette or probing with a fine glass needle), its protoplasm changes swiftly into numerous aplanospores. Most of these aplanospores develop into normal new plants in culture.Keywords
