Summary

The microfibrils that constitute the walls ofSynchytrium endobioticum resting sporangia are laid down at the periphery of developing walls and are packed in discrete orientation. Incorporation of uridine diphospho-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, a precursor of chitin, is restricted to the periphery of the developing wall of the resting sporangium.
