The effect of growth in 99.8 deuterium oxide on the ultrastructure of winter rye.
A preliminary report dealing with the ultrastructural effects of culture in a 99.8% D(2)O (deuterium oxide) environment on winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Winter) is presented. In general, the cells of D(2)O-cultured seedlings appeared similar to the cells of H(2)O-cultured seedlings. However, differences were found in chloroplast and dictyosome morphology, and ribosome number.
