The Golgi Apparatus in Higher Fungi

Abstract

THE Golgi material in plant tissues is only now being worked out. Guilliermond of Paris in 1922 obtained Golgi apparatus in barley roots by the silver impregnation method; and in March 1926 he published a paper in C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, on the relation between the plant vacuolar system and the Golgi apparatus. He treated the epidermal cells of very young leaves of Iris germanica and meristematic tissues of young shoots of Elodea canadenis, some Chlarophycee, Cyanophycea, bacteria, and some fungi (Levure and Oidium lactis), with the silver impregnation methods of Cajal and da Fano as well as with vital staining with neutral red. In the majority of cases he could obtain the precipitates of vacuoles (metachromatic corpuscles) stained in the form of the network of canals constituting the Golgi apparatus.
