Gomez J. B., . Lutoids of Hevea latex: morphological considerations. pp. 231-240. ISSN 0127-7065
Abstract
Lutoids have been known for over forty years but their functions and physiology are not fully understood. There is a strong school of thought which has identified lysosomal properties in these vesicular structures found in abundance in Hevea latex. Earlier proposals that these organelles are vacuoles have also found acceptance. This paper considers some of the morphological aspects of the variability of lutoids and the physiological complexity of the organelle. Gaps in the knowledge of the physiology of lutoids have caused considerable delay in the progress of biochemical mechanisms controlling latex flow yield-determining qualities of certain latex properties and progress towards control of these to overcome the latex vessel plugging phenomenon.
