Abstract

In onion root meristems, the number of dictyosomes per cell shows a kinetics of growth strongly related to the cell cycle. During the interphase of steady-state proliferative cells, the volume density and numerical density of the Golgi apparatus decrease to reach minimum values in late-interphase cells, characterized by their greatest length. This pattern is also found in the total volume occupied by Golgi apparatus. Once in mitosis, the above-mentioned parameters begin to increase reaching maximum mean values in telophase. After the experimental uncoupling of chromosome and growth cycles by presynchronization with hydroxyurea, we found a similar behaviour pattern in the Golgi apparatus: decreasing values during interphase and a triggering of Golgi-apparatus growth in prophase independently of the bigger cell sizes reached in mitosis as an effect of pretreatment with hydroxyurea. These results indicate a cyclic kinetics of this subcellular component in higher-plant meristems, coupled with early mitotic events.
