Summary The authors describe a simple method based on malachite green and acid fuchsin for the detection of laticifers during the embryogenesis of someEuphorbiaceae plants by conventional and fluorescence microscopy. The strong sensitivity and specificity of the method make it suitable for the ontogenetic studies of laticifers. The results obtained are discussed in the context of the reactive mechanism of the staining and of the chemical composition of the embryonal laticifers.
