5‐Fluorouracil, 8‐azaguanine and ethionine were tested on the orientation of cell division to see whether the two‐dimensional development of the fern Adiantum gametophytes was due to newly synthesized protein(s). Using the system in which the orientation of cell division was controlled experimentally by sequential treatment with red light, white light and darkness and by the direction of irradiation, all the inhibitors decreased the rates of cell elongation and cell division of the gametophytes, but did not specifically affect the two‐dimensional differentiation at all.
