Origin of nucleolus-like bodies found in the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm of Vicia faba meristematic cells.

Journal article

Cytohistochemical staining and RNase-gold labelling have been applied to root-tip meristematic cells of Vicia faba to study the origin and biological significance of 2 types of inclusions: one seen in the nucleoplasm and the other in the cytoplasm of early telophase cells. They have been termed "dense bodies" and "cytoplasmic nucleolus-like bodies" (NLB), respectively. Both types of inclusions respond positively to silver staining and ribonucleoprotein (RNP) staining in a similar fashion to n...
