Abstract: | Summary During spermatogenesis in Gerris remigis, chromatoid bodies appear in the spermatocytes and persist to the-mid-spermatid stage. These structures consist of numerous, parallel tubules, which measure approximately 500 Å in diameter. The tubules are arranged in hexagonal array, and contain dense granules that resemble ribosomes. The chromatoid body may be secretory in function, or may be involved in intracellular transport.The technical assistance of Mr. Roy R. Keppie and Mrs. Mona Brandreth is gratefully acknowledged. |
