ABSTRACT

MOORE, ROYALL T. (University of California, Berkeley). Fine structure of mycota. XI. Occurrence of the Golgi dictyosome in the heterobasidiomycete Puccinia podophylli. J. Bacteriol. 86:866–871. 1963.—The Golgi dictyosome is reported for the first time in the subclass Heterobasidiomycetidae in the rust Puccinia podophylli Schw. It is observed that the dictyosome appears to be limited to primordial cells, particularly those nearest the host, and does not occur in the aeciospores. In comparison with the Golgi systems of plant and animal cells, the Golgi complex of P. podophylli is found to be more similar to those of the latter. Also discussed is the distribution of the Golgi complex in fungi described in published reports and the need for more such reports so that the range of its variation and distribution may be established.
