[Description, cytochemistry, and electron microscopic autoradiography of nucleolar granular spheres and micronucleoli of lizard (Lacerta vivipara Jacquin) pyriform cells].
The granular spheres are constituted of granules of 300-350 A and show a higher contrast than the nucleolar part where they are localised. The micronucleoli consist of fine fibrils. These two structures contain RNP. A relation between the granular spheres and the degeneration of the pyriform cells is suggested. The RNP of the micronucleoli, probably synthesized on perinucleolar DNA, migrate into cytoplasm.
