Abstract: | Summary Primary roots of maize seedlings have been treated with solutions of lanthanum and lead salts in an attempt to demonstrate endocytosis. Subsurface cells in the root cap reveal deposits of these heavy metals in coated pits in the plasma membrane and in coated vesicles. In addition lead deposits were observed in coated evaginations (pits) on large (secretory) vesicles present at the trans-pole of the Golgi apparatus and on small vacuoles. Lead was also found in the peripheral regions of individual cisternae throughout the dictyosomal stack. We interpret our results as providing evidence for coated pit/coated vesicle-mediated endocytosis and for the direct recycling of plasma membrane to the Golgi apparatus. |
