Abstract: | Summary The cell covering (or periplast) of many cryptomonads consists of discrete plate areas precisely arranged over most of the cell periphery. Developmental changes in periplast arrangement that occur throughout the cell cycle are examined here forKomma caudata andProteomonas sulcata haplomorph]. In both cryptomonads, pole reversal occurs during cytokinesis, necessitating major realignment of the plate areas. Growth of the periplast occurs by addition of new plate areas to specialized regions (termed anamorphic zones) located around the vestibular margins and along the mid-ventral line of cells. Development of the periplast from these regions enables elongation and lateral expansion of cryptomonads throughout cell growth. Observed differences in cell division and periplast development between these genera are closely associated with variations in the arrangement of anamorphic zones. |
