    Notes: Abstract Changes in membrane topography in the flagellate Poterioochromonas malhamensis, as a result of colchicine and osmotic-stress treatments, have been studied using freeze-fracturing and thin sectioning. Ridges, but not rows of intramembrane particles, in the PF-face which denote the position of underlying cortical microtubules, together with the ridge associated with their point of origin (flagellar root fibre 1), dissappear after colchicine or short-term (5 min) osmotic treatments. Cortical microtubules are destroyed as a result of the former, but not the latter treatment. Longer periods in osmoticum allow a recovery of the microtubule — associated membrane ridges. Despite careful isosmotic fixations distinct cross-bridges between microtubules and the plasmalemma were not discernible in thin section.

    Notes: Summary Protonemata ofFunaria hygrometrica were exposed to the herbicidal MT inhibitor oryzalin. A reduction of the growth rate together with a disturbance of oriented polar growth is observed. Both effects are reversible. Visualization of MT by IFT reveals differential sensitivities of MT. At lower concentrations (⩽10−6 M) only the cytoplasmic MT are depolymerized causing impairment of the migration of the nucleus and the transport of the plastids. Close association of MT with the surface of the plastids is demonstrated. At higher concentrations of oryzalin spindle and phragmoplast MT are affected as well. They are found in unusual orientations and display a variety of aberrant forms like multipolar spindles or the occurrence of several “mini-spindles” within one cell. The mode of action of oryzalin is discussed and the necessity of a continuous network of cytoplasmic MT between nucleus and growing tip for the maintenance of polar growth is emphasized.
