Abstract:
A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image shows the significant uptake of C70 particles by a plant leaf cell. The C70 particles appear as numerous small aggregates in the vacuole and the cell walls of the leaf cell are shown as dark layered structures in the image. Scale of image: 5 × 6 µm.

Onion root tips were studied both with transmission and scanning electron microscope. The cells in the meristematic region of initials were found to be little vacuolated. At early stages of cell differentiation areas free of ribosomes are segregated in the cytoplasm. No (or only incomplete) membranes delimiting such areas could be distinguished in most cases. Seemingly, the membraneous structures may form later or simultaneously with the progress of breakdown of biostructure of the cytoplasm in the segregated area. The microscopic image of cytoplasm in the segregated areas (and even of the vacuolar sap at early stages of vacuole formation) resembles the matrix of cytoplasm populated with ribosomes. The cytoplasm in the whole central area is segregated at early stages of differentiation of root cap cells. The process of autophagic vacuoles formation in which the preexisting endomembranes seemingly are involved is described. It is proposed that such vacuoles may form after separation of two unit membranes of a cisternae surrounding a portion of the cytoplasm or an organelle, followed by independent growth of an outer unit membrane.

Invagination of the plasma membrane in plant cells forms peripheral or endocytic structures which often contain a complement of membrane‐bound vesicles. These structures, or secondary vacuoles, move with the streaming cytoplasm although their velocities are somewhat slower than that for the various organelles within the cytoplasm. They glide over the nucleus or flow from the peripheral cytoplasm onto a transvacuolar strand and continue unabated along the length of a strand. These structures may detach from the plasma membrane as sacs to become positioned in the cytoplasm directly under the tonoplast and project into the primary vacuole. Some endocytic vacuoles may separate from the peripheral cytoplasm and remain free within the primary vacuole; subsequently they can re‐associate with the cytoplasm. While the content and function of these vacuoles are yet to be determined, indirect evidence indicates that they are pinocytic in character since the content of an invagination is confined to the sac upon its detachment from the plasma membrane and is subsequently transported throughout the cell by cyclosis.
