D. Stoyanova et E. Tchakalova, Cadmium induced ultrastructural changes in shoot apical meristem of Elodeacanadensis Rich., PHOTOSYNTHE, 37(1), 1999, pp. 47-52
The ultrastructure of cells of ground meristem in the peripheral zone of sh
oot apical meristem in Elodea canadensis Rich. was studied after treatment
with cadmium in concentrations 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 g(Cd2+) m(-3). After
5 d treatment, changes in the structural organisation of the plastid appara
tus were found, namely in proplastid, amyloplast, and amoeboid stages of pl
astid development.
