Abstract
The ultrastructural morphology of both dry and water-imbibed barley aleurone cells is described. The aleurone cell is characterized by the presence of numerous aleurone grains and spherosomes. In addition, it contains organelles typical of other plant cells including structures similar to microbodies, and rough endoplasmic reticulum characterized by the presence of numerous polyribosomes. It is inferred that the morphological specialization of aleurone cells is related to their biochemical specialization.Keywords
