Summary

Promeristematic cells of theCystoseira thallus have been studied by transmission electron microscopy and cytochemistry in order to observe vacuole formation and development.

Vacuolation seems to occur by different processes. Those here concerned involve the intervention of provacuolar formations, originating probably from G.E.R.L., in the sequestration of cytoplasmic materials. The sequestrated portion then undergoes a degradation. These observations agree with the processes recently reported in root meristematic cells of two higher plants:Euphorbia characias andHordeum sativum.
