Watson-Crick complementarity has been used as a basis for massive parallelism in DNA computing. Also its use in an operational sense has turned out to be very promising in the study of Watson-Crick DOL systems. The latter generalize DOL systems in a way not investigated so far in the theory of Lindenmayer systems. The complexity of the "trigger" is crucial for decidability properties concerning Watson-Crick DOL systems. The purpose of this paper is to settle the basic decision problems in the case of regular triggers. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
