The cortical cytoplasm of the young guard cells of A. capillus veneris is locally differentiated. At an early post-telophase stage, numerous microtubules diverge from the cytoplasm occupying the junctions of the midregion of the ventral wall with the periclinal ones, towards the periclinal and ventral wall faces, and towards the inner cytoplasm. Microtubule-vesicle complexes (MVC) are detected in these regions. Their appearance is accompanied by the initiation of local wall thickenings in the same areas. Afterwards, more distinct MVC anchored to the plasmalemma were seen in the cortical cytoplasm of the periclinal walls, close to the growing thickenings, usually at a distance up to 3 .mu.m from them. Sometimes they seemed to contain an electron dense substance in which the microtubules were embedded. Cortical microtubules converging from more than 1 direction terminate at the MCV. The microtubule population lining the periclinal walls radiate from the regions where the above cytoplasmic formations are localized. The overlying cellulose microfibrils exhibit the same orientation. The vesicles localized at the MCV apparently are of dictyosomal origin, very electron dense and react positively to periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP) test. Another population of micotubules fan out from the MCV, entering deeper into the cytoplasm. They become associated with the nucleus and mitochondria. They become associated with the nucleus and mitochondria, and traverse the peridictyosomal cytoplasm. In some instances the nucleus formed a protrusion towards an MVC and appeared associated with it via microtubules which radiate from the MVC and flank the nuclear envelope. Prominent microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) function in the cortical cytoplasm of the midregion of the periclinal walls surrounding the ventral one for a relatively long time. The MVC and/or their adjacent plasmalemma sites may represent MTOC or at least they specify the cortical cytoplasmic sites where microtubules are nucleated.
