    Notes: Abstract Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and chalcone synthase (CHS) were localized by indirect immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling in glands ofPrimula kewensis. Both enzymes were exclusively present in the head cells of the glands. Phenylalanine ammonialyase was located in the regions of the dense tubular endoplasmic reticulum and occasionally found in more or less spherical organelles that have not yet been identified. Furthermore, an appreciable proportion of the enzyme protein was associated with the plasmalemma and the cell wall of the head cell. In contrast, the occurrence of CHS was restricted to the spherical, unidentified cell compartments. Our findings indicate that the gland cells have the potential for flavonoid biosynthesis. When a mutant ofP. kewensis forming structurally intact glands but incapable of farina excretion was studied, neither PAL nor CHS were found in the head cells.

    Notes: Summary The two main types of fibrous flagellar roots present in the flagellar apparatus of green algae (system I and system II fibers) are immunologically distinct as indicated by the localization of a Ca2+-modulated contractile protein (centrin) exclusively in one type (system II fibers) but not in the other type (system I fibers). A polyclonal antibody generated against the major protein of the striated flagellar roots (system II fibers) of the quadriflagellate green algaTetraselmis striata was used to localize centrin by immunofluorescence and pre- and postembedding immunogold electron microscopy in the flagellar apparatus ofSpermatozopsis similis, S. exsultans, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Dunaliella bioculata, Polytomella parva and gametes ofMonostroma grevillei andEnteromorpha sp. Whereas the antibody recognizes centrin in connecting fibers and system II fibers, no labeling occurs in system I fibers in all taxa investigated. This study presents the first evidence that system I fibers lack centrin and indicates that the two main types of fibrous flagellar roots in green algae are biochemically distinct.
