Abstract
One male and one female gametophyte of Ectocarpus siliculosus have been detected in a sample of 19 plants taken from the Isle of Man. Fertilization takes place between gametes formed in plurilocular gametangia. Clear cross-fertility exists with Mediterranean strains. This result confirms the notion that the concept of the gametic character of meiospores in Ectocarpus should be abandoned.
