Abstract
Cultured callus tissue of hazel (Corylus avellana L.), which has the potency of somatic embryogenesis, was used for the study of cell ultrastructure in the course of callus growth and embryoid formation. The meristematic cells of this tissue exhibit a specific organization of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), stacked into extensive parallel sheets. The membranes of the aggregated RER are associated with orderly arrays of bound ribosomes. The high regularity of the alignment of the attached ribosomes seems to be influenced by the distance between the two neighbouring membranes in the RER aggregate. The RER aggregates with orderly attached ribosomes are more frequently found in callus cells and in early embryogenesis than in the advanced stages of embryo development.Keywords
