Variations of Nucleolar Ultrastructure in Relation to Transcriptional Activity During G1 S, and G2 Periods of Microspore Interphase

  • Conference paper
Sexual Reproduction in Higher Plants

Abstract

The nucleolus is a highly dinamic organelle. Variations in the synthesis and/or processing of rRNA produces redistribution of the structural nucleolar components, in both physiological and experimental conditions (Goessens 1984, Hadjiolov 1985, Olmedilla et a1. 1987, Risueño and Medina 1986).
