Structural Changes and Fate of Crystalloplastids during Growth of Calcium Oxalate Crystal Idioblasts in Japanese Yam (Dioscorea japonica Thunb.) Tubers

The structural changes of crystalloplastids during calcium oxalate crystal idioblasts growth in Japanese yam tubers were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Idioblasts developed in the cortex of tubers during the tubers developmentwere large and elliptic and contained many crystalloplastid...
