Abstract

A significant loss in nucleolar volume density (proportion of nuclear volume occupied by nucleoli) occurs in the macronucleus as clonal age increases, which suggests an age-correlated loss of ribosomal RNA synthesizing capacity. In the macronuclear fragments of cells undergoing autogamy, however, a significant gain in nucleolar volume density takes place.
