The fine structure of vegetative and reproductive gametophytes of Derbesia tenuissima is described. Development of the gametangium and release of the gametes progress as follows: (1) In initial stages of gametangium formation, prior to 24 hr before gamete release, there is an accumulation and proliferation of nuclei, chloroplasts, and other organelles. (2) This is followed by separation of the gametangium from the rest of the plant by a gametangial membrane; segregation of organelles into gametes has begun by 12 hr before release and the process is completed by 2.5 hr before release. (3) Enzymatic wall dissolution of the pore area occurs between 2.5 and, 12 hr before normal lights‐on time. (4) The release mechanism appears to be an instantaneous light‐induced increase in lurgor pressure rupturing the weakened pore area, of the wall and causing a forcible expulsion of the gametes. (5) Following release, the pore is sealed by organellar debris and the gametangial membrane. Additional wall layers are presumed to be laid down internal to the plugged pore by the vegetative protoplasm which migrates into the area.
