Hormone A B C D
Source Somatic female thalli Male thalli
bearing antheridial initials Oogonial
initials Anteridia
Biological function Induce formation of
anteridial branchs on male thalli Induce
formation of Oogonial initials Attracts
anteridial branchs to oogonial initials and act
in cojugation with thigmothophic response to
induce antheridium delimitation Course oogonium
delimitation and oosphere differentiation

sporangia do not produce zoospore, but
germinate in stead
