The Fine Structure of Leaf Cells of Copper-deficient Oats
Received: 28 May 1970
Electron micrographs of copper-deficient oat leaves showed only minor structural differences from normal oat leaves in that there were reduced numbers of compartments in the chloroplast stacks with no differences in stromacentres, plastoglobuli, mitochondria, nuclei, or cell walls. The cells of the white withered tip characteristic of copper-deficient oat leaves were found to be full of fibrous masses.
