Unique structures called pit plugs are associated with                     intercellular connections in the red algae.  Variation in the                   structure of pit plugs (layering, shape, and chemistry) among                   species of red algae provides valuable characters that have                     contributed to improved classification of these plants.  In this                project, Dr. Curt Pueschel of the State University of New York at               Binghamton will examine components of the pit plug, especially                  the outer cap layers, using histochemical tests in conjunction                  with electron-microscopy to resolve features of cap construction.               Morphological variation of the pit plug within the order                        Acrochaetiales will be studied and features correlated with                     other characters to determine primitive and advanced conditions.                These studies will contribute to understanding the evolutionary                 relationships among families and orders of red algae.
