Abstract:Zoospores, prosporangia, and asexual sporangia were studied with electron microscopy to determine the ultrastructural identification of “chromidia,” granular masses surrounding nuclei that classical mycologists believed to be extruded chromatin used for lipid synthesis. In the zoospore the nucleus was enclosed by an aggregation of ribosomes. In other developmental stages the behavior of microbodies was identical to that described for “chromidia.” A microbody network with interspersed ER surrounded nuclei in yo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
