Abstract

The plastids in sieve tube members of the stamen vascular bundles ofSorghum bicolor, fixed in glutaraldehyde with postfixation in osmium tetroxide, are of the P-type containing cuneate crystalloids of a proteinaceous nature surrounded by a double envelope. Secondary inclusions are present in these P-type plastids. P-type plastids inSorghum often remain intact in the mature sieve tube members. This work was supported by a grant from the Iowa Agricultural and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, U.S.A. Project No. 1740 toHarry T.Horner, Jr., andNels R.Lersten and Project No. 1914 toHarry T.Horner, Jr. of the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Iowa State University, Ames, U.S.A. This work was completed by the author as part of the Ph. D. dissertation research
