    Notes: Abstract Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and chalcone synthase (CHS) were localized by indirect immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling in glands ofPrimula kewensis. Both enzymes were exclusively present in the head cells of the glands. Phenylalanine ammonialyase was located in the regions of the dense tubular endoplasmic reticulum and occasionally found in more or less spherical organelles that have not yet been identified. Furthermore, an appreciable proportion of the enzyme protein was associated with the plasmalemma and the cell wall of the head cell. In contrast, the occurrence of CHS was restricted to the spherical, unidentified cell compartments. Our findings indicate that the gland cells have the potential for flavonoid biosynthesis. When a mutant ofP. kewensis forming structurally intact glands but incapable of farina excretion was studied, neither PAL nor CHS were found in the head cells.

    Notes: Abstract The distribution of the two chalcone synthases in leaves ofSpinacia oleracea L. was studied at both the tissue and the subcellular level using immunofluorescence and immunogold techniques. Neither technique differentiated between the two enzyme forms. The chalcone synthases are located in the upper and the lower epidermis and to a minor extent in the subepidermal layers. Traces of the two enzyme forms may be present in the residual mesophyll. This distribution is independent of leaf age. A similar distribution of chalcone synthase among tissues was observed in parsley, pea, and bean. Chalcone synthase is also present in guard cells. The spinach chalcone synthases are cytosolic enzymes, and are not associated with tonoplast or endoplasmic reticulum. A small fraction of the chalcone synthases is located in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
