Callus masses excised from explants of G. turuturu exhibited an undifferentied growth on solid ASP12NTA (1.2% agar) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Growth of the callus was maintained for over five years by subculture every 2-3 months. The callus cells were able to attach to twines of Nori-net and oyster shell, following which they developed into crusts in PES liquid medium. The seeds were observed from upright development of the crusts.The young thalli grew to 3-5 mm in length after 6-8 weeks in room culture. For cultivation in sea, the Nori-nets were suspended from experimental rafts at Nagasaki and Kochi coast. The thalli grew most rapidly from January to April. After five months growth, the thalli attained a length of approxirnately which is similar to naturally growing thalli.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {Seed production and cultivation of Grateloupia turuturu (Cryptonemiales, Rhodophyta) by callus culture}, volume = {19}, year = {2000} }
