Abstract
The mealy-bug Pseudococcus maritimus Ehrh. suppresses as specific disturbance cell plate formation in dividing cells of female flowers without interfering with the division of the nuclei. Host plants were three different species of the aroid Aglaonema. The result are multinucleated cells whose differentiation in cells of pistil, ovary, and embryo-sac is practically undisturbed.
