Abstract
Vegetative nuclear divisions in cystosoral Plasmodia from the shoot system of Sorosphaera veronicae Schroeter were studied with standard transmission electron microscopy. Each metaphase nucleus forms a cruciform configuration as the persistent nucleolus elongates perpendicularly to chromatin aligned on the equatorial plate. The nuclear envelope remains intact during metaphase and anaphase. Each spindle pole consists of a fenestrated nuclear envelope with an exteriorly situated centriole and closely associated endoplasmic reticulum. Intranuclear membranous vesicles occur within metaphase and anaphase nuclei and are closely associated with chromatin and nuclear envelope. Microtubules pass from centrioles into the nucleus and are also attached to chromatin at kinetochores.
