Abstract
Cytomorphogenesis of the green alga Micrasterias is a highly differentiated process, which takes place according to a characteristic and strongly determined temporal sequence. Because of the specific cell pattern, which develops continuously during cell growth, Micrasterias is especially suitable for the study in detail of the individual steps in cytomorphogenesis. A special fixation procedure for electron microscopy of Micrasterias was introduced by Kiermayer (1968) and this made it possible to investigate how ultrastructural components relate to the process of cytomorphogenesis. Thus interactions have been found between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane during particular steps of cell pattern formation (Kiermayer 1970a,b, 1973, 1981), which are mediated by various kinds of vesicle.
