Abstract
The ontogenesis and differentiation of myelin-like structures in the meristematic cells of the root tips of the horse bean (Vicia faba L.) was investigated. Myelin-like structures can differentiate by transforming the membrane systems of different cell organelles and structures. Starting from the different ontogenesis of these structures, apparently not all myelin-like structures have the same importance in spite of their analogous construction. Possibly some types of myelin-like structures can participate on the lytic processes of plant cells.
