The Relation of Autoǵamy to Senescence and Rejuvenescence in Paramecium aurelia*

The Relation of Autoǵamy to Senescence and Rejuvenescence in Paramecium aurelia* Two problems were posed for experimental analysis: (1) What is the effect of omission of both conjugation and autogamy on fission rate and other characteristics of P. aurelia? (2) What effects does autogamy have when it occurs after intervals of varying length since the last previous fertilization? These questions were explored most thoroughly in stock R of variety 1 and stock W of variety 2; but some data are also presented for stocks S and 60 of variety 1, stock E of variety 2, and stocks 29, 32, 47, and 51 of variety 4 and their hybrids. In essential features the results on all stocks and varieties are in agreement, as far as they go; but the details differ. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology Wiley

Abstract

Two problems were posed for experimental analysis: (1) What is the effect of omission of both conjugation and autogamy on fission rate and other characteristics of P. aurelia? (2) What effects does autogamy have when it occurs after intervals of varying length since the last previous fertilization? These questions were explored most thoroughly in stock R of variety 1 and stock W of variety 2; but some data are also presented for stocks S and 60 of variety 1, stock E of variety 2, and stocks 29, 32, 47, and 51 of variety 4 and their hybrids. In essential features the results on all stocks and varieties are in agreement, as far as they go; but the details differ.
