Abstract
Fine structure features of yeast cells in meiosis are reported. Cytoplasmic and nuclear organization are compared during budding, meiosis I and meiosis II. Spindle plaques previously reported in budding yeast are identified during meiosis and the morphology of the plaques in meiosis I and II is illustrated. The dimunition of the vacuole and the increase in the number of lipid, granules in sporulating yeast, known from light microscopy, is confirmed.
