Abstract
During early stages of regeneration, cells at the cut ends become mitotically active and undergone cell differentiation to produce some filamentous outgrowths. The fucoids show a high level of anatomical differentiation of the thallus into three zones; meristoderm, cortex and medulla. Interestingly, the tissue differentiation as a highly specialized adaptation and division of labor strategy. Anatomically, the thallus differentiated into meristoderm, cortex and medulla. However, the meristoderm is overarched by some extra cellular layers. This extra cellular layer periodically sloughed – off and the meristoderm cells plays in important role in the regeneration of tissue.
