Abstract

Frey-Wyssting (FW) complexes the third most numerous major organelle in Hevea latex is examined by electron microscopic techniques to unravel the morphological variability with respect to developmental states and sedimentation characteristics. In examples drawn from tissue sections and from electron microscopy of ultra-centrifuged fractions of latex it is shown that the FW complexes have characteristic complexity in morphology arising from the constitutent lipid globules vesicle membrane configurations and a grey body which may or may not contain embedded ropey tubes.
