Abstract excerpt
Antheridiogen (ACE) is a pheromone that is required for the development of male gametophytes in the homosporous fern Ceratopteris richardii. Subtractive hybridization of cDNAs isolated from ACE-treated and non-ACE-treated gametophytes was used to isolate genes that are induced by the pheromone. The expression of one gene, ANI1 (for antheridiogen induced), was induced within 3 hr of ACE treatment, but its...
