Dilated cisternae (DC) of endoplasmic reticulum were a typical component of stem-, hypocotyledon- and root vascular parenchyma and root cap cells in Brassicaceae (14 spp. screened) and Capparaceae (7 spp.). In general, DC are very long, utricular organelles containing proteins and bound by a unit membrane which is studded with ribosomes. In aerial parts of the plants tested the proteins are tubular structures arranged parallel to the DC axis, in roots there are filamentous proteins. In some Brassicaceae (e.g., Lunaria, Ptilotrichum, Schivereckia) DC are irregularly shaped and contain granular protein material. These forms may lead to protein-containing vacuoles as found in companion cells of Tovaria. Since DC do occur in taxa which contain glucosinolates, an EM-cytochemical test for .beta.-thioglucosidases was applied to some of the species. The results did not prove a specific location of the enzyme inside DC. The reliability of the method is questioned and the probability that DC are a site of .beta.-thioglucosidases is discussed since it is known that, e.g., the glucosinolate-containing Resedaceae do not contain this organelle. Erythroxylum (Erythroxylaceae) and Jacaranda (Bignoniaceae) gave the same precipitations when subjected to the cytochemical test.
