Abstract

The root cell plastids and their development were studied in seven genera of hydrophytes: Lemna, Nymphoides, Hydrocharis, Trapa, Eichhornia, Najas, and Hydrilla under the electron microscope.Roots of these hydrophytes with exception of Eichhornia appear slightly greenish and their plastids are composed of grana-lamellar structures. In some of the young plastids, the development of arranged vesicles into lamellar structures has been observed.In the plastids of Eichhdrnia root cells, no grana-lamellar structure has been observed.
