Abstract

Summary Dissolution of cell wall material has been recorded in the cortical and provascular elements of the quiescent root meristems of Allium cepa L. bulbs. The cell walls disappear, resulting in the formation of masses of cytoplasm with free floating nuclei. Ultrastructural observations indicate elaboration of massive rough endoplasmic reticular elements, which directly participate in the breakdown process.
