Abstract In cultures of Alaria crassifolia Kjellman, unfertilized eggs developed normally into haploid sporophytes which differentiated into a holdfast, stipe and blade with a midrib. The terminal cells of a male gametophyte grew apogamously into haploid sporophytes with narrow blades which lack the midrib. Further, diploid gametophytes were formed by apospory from vegetative cells of a diploid sporophyte. They were monoecious and their fertilized eggs developed into tetraploid sporophytes. Nuclear phases of the sporophytes and gametophytes concerned were confirmed by cytological observations.
