Abstract: | Root meristem cells of Isoetes macrosporausually have one plastidwhich is associated with the prominent nucleus, numerous ribosomesand mitochondria, and small vacuoles. During mitosis each plastidappears to replicate so that each daughter cell contains oneplastid. The cell walls of the meristem cells are traversedby numerous plasmodesmata. Central cells of the root cap lackdistally displaced plastids but have one or more amyloplastsassociated with the nucleus. These cells also contain largeprotein deposits. Peripheral root cap cells are characterizedby being vacuolated, and by possessing a few dictyosomes andprotein deposits. They appear to be sloughed infrequently.
