Under defined cultural conditions, zygotes of the brown alga
Fucus distichus L. Powell divide synchronously to form two-celled
embryos at approximately 24 hours after fertilization. These two
cells differ from one another in gross morphology, ultrastructure,
cytochemistry, and developmental fate. Cytochemical staining and
autoradiography indicated that a sulfated polysaccharide was...
The developmental cytology of the elaiosome of
Dicentra formosa (Andr.)Walp. was investigated from the
time of initial differentiation until complete maturation.
Light and transmission electron microscopy studies
showed that the elaiosome becomes differentiated from
epidermal tissue in the prefertilized ovule. At this time
the cells are characterized by their large...
