Abstract
The spontaneous transition in Allomyces arbuscula from a sporo? phytic to a gametophytic state without the intervention of the resistant sporangium and its meiospores has been previously re? ported by Sorgel (1937). What appears to be a similar vegeta? tive transformation of a sporophytic plant into a gametophytic plant has been consistently effected by treatment of the sporophyte of A. arbuscula with the antibiotic cycloheximide. The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss the nature of the transforma? tion induced by cycloheximide.
