title: Time-sequence of nuclear and chloroplast fusions in the zygote of Chlamydomonas reinhardii.
abstract: Contradictory data have been published concerning the time-sequence of nuclear and chloroplast fusions in the zygote of Chlamydomonas. In the present study, adjacent ultrathin sections of Chlamydomonas reinhardii zygotes of various ages were examined with the electron microscope. These sections clearly reveal that nuclear fusion precedes chloroplast fusion.
