TI  - The structure and chemistry of plastid differentiation during male meiosis in 
      Lilium henryi.
PG  - 223-41
AB  - The unusual content of the plastids characteristic of male meiosis and 
      microsporogenesis in Lilium henryi has been investigated using enzymic digestion 
      of material prepared for electron microscopy. Apart from membranous tubules and 
      osmiophilic droplets, commonly regarded as normal constituents of the stroma of 
      undifferentiated plastids, these organelles contained a single conspicuous 
      association between membrane and particulate material and wefts of filaments. 
      Enzymic digestion revealed the membrane-particle association (MPA) to contain RNA 
      and some protein, and the filaments to be entirely proteinaceous. The use of 
      DNase on this material proved both unreliable and, on occasions, unspecific, so 
      no new information has emerged as to the disposition of DNA within these 
      organelles. Many of the plastids divide immediately after meiosis and the MPAs 
      normally divide in step with the organelles. The activities of the MPA and those 
      of the filaments are discussed in terms of changes in the organelle population as 
      a whole, and also in consideration of the fundamental events occurring elsewhere 
      in the cells during the alternation from the diploid sporophyte to the haploid 
      gametophyte.
