    Notes: Abstract Cytochalasin B (CB) inhibits the elongation growth of maize roots, and that of wheat coleoptile segments incubated in indolyl-3-acetic acid, by over 30% after a lag period of about 60 min. This long lag is not due to poor tissue penetration by the inhibitor, but seems to reflect a property of the process inhibited by CB. The only visible ultrastructural change accompanying growth inhibition is the accumulation of secretory vesicles in the vicinity of dictyosomes, which occurs between 90 and 300 min. However, a massive accumulation of vesicles is seen after 120 min in root cap cells which possess very active dictyosomes. The results indicate that CB does not inhibit elongation growth by interfering with cytoplasmic streaming. Instead, they indicate that the drug acts to inhibit the secretion of cell wall components at some stage after vesicle production, but prior to their transport.

    Notes: Summary A quantitative analysis of electron micrographs showed that IAA treatment caused an initial rapid increase in the amount of dictyosome material in pea stem epidermal cells. The increase was detected within 15 minutes of auxin presentation and reached a maximum around 30 minutes. This was followed by a decrease, presumably due to an increased utilization of the organelle. The decrease involved a fall in the amount of dictyosome-derived vesicles and in the actual number of dictyosomes. The results are discussed in relation to similar observations on expanding cells of monocotyledonous plants.
