| Abstract: | Lipids and proteins in substantial quantities are present as storage products in spores of Onoclea sensibilis. They fill the sparce spore cytoplasm and ultrastructurally are indistinguishable from reserve materials observed in storage tissue of higher plants. Hydrolysis of both products is correlated with early stages in spore germination. |
