Abstract

Allium cepa root tips were freeze-etched with results indicating that the technique can be applied advantageously to ultrastructural studies in the multicellular tissues of higher plants. The picture of cell and membrane structure which emerges, confirms in most respects the picture observed after chemical fixation and positive staining. In addition, freeze-etching permitted determination of pore size and revealed surface structures not seen in normally sectioned preparations.
