Concanavalin A disrupts the release of fibrous material necessary for zygote formation of a unicellular charophycean alga, Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale complex

The Closterium peracerosum–strigosum–littorale (C. psl.) complex is the best characterized charophycean alga with respect to the processes of sexual reproduction. We examined the effect of concanavalin A (Con A) on physiological and ultrastructural changes during the conjugation of the C. psl. compl...
