Extract

Precocious development of sexual reproductive structures (sporosacs) in Cordylophora (Pallas, Allman) occurs when colonies are grown in the absence of a suitable substratum. Neither varying the nature of the substratum provided nor diverse surgical manipulations will induce this morphogenetic modification. Sessile colonies will also initiate sporosac development if ubstrate availability is limited experimentally.
