Relative DNA contents of samples of nuclei from hyphal tips and from gametangia at different stages of development have been obtained by cytofluorimetry. The occurrence of nuclei with 4C, 2C and 1C DNA complements in gametangia and mainly 2C complements in hyphae indicates that meiosis takes place in the gametangia of Phytophthora drechsleri.
