Abstract
In Anthocerus punctatus, as in other plants, the lamellar system of the chloroplasts is made up of enclosed double lamellae, designated as thylakoids. The thylakoids of the Anthocerus chloroplasts may be swelled-out and bubble-like in places and may be branched and divided by inward or outward protrusions of their membranes. It is conjectured that the inward and outward protrusions of the membranes are the result of locally limited growth, and that this process may lead not only to an increase of surface but also to an increase of thylakoids by division. Starch grains are formed in the thylakoids in Anthocerus.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
