Summary.
The distribution and ultrastructural features of idioblasts containing calcium oxalate crystals were studied in leaf tissues of mulberry, Morus alba L. In addition to the calcium carbonate crystals formed in epidermal idioblasts, large calcium oxalate crystals were deposited in cells adjacent to the veins and surrounded by a cell wall sheath which had immunoreactivity with an antibody recognizing a xyloglucan epitope. The wall sheath formation indicates exclusion of the mature crystal from the protoplast.
