Abstract
Quantitative changes in organelle volume, number, and area during cotyledon cell development in Phaseolus vulgaris are described during the early period of reserve protein synthesis. Rough ER undergoes a 400-fold increase in area per cell, and also changes in shape; changes in mitochondrial volume do not parallel the changes which occur in respiration rate; nuclear volume increases, and relationships between cell and nuclear volume, DNA content, and cell weight are discussed; plastid division appears to occur in steps.Keywords
