The present survey resulted in the discovery that anthocyanoplasts were recognized in the hypocotyls of 21 species. The sizes of the anthocyanoplasts, their shapes and their colors found here closely resembled those in the hypocotyls of radish previously reported on by YASUDA et al. (1985). However, there were some differences between the anthocyanoplasts found here and those of radish. Especially the morning glory hypocotyl data were strikingly different from those obtained from radish, as is shown below. 1. The relationship between the pigment level in the hypocotyls and the frequency with which anthocyanoplasts appear in them. Anthocyanoplast appeared during whole period of pigment formation of morning glory, while in contrast anthocyanoplasts only appeared in the hypocotyls of radish during the first half of pigment formation. 2. The relationship between the numbers of anthocyanoplasts per cell and their diameters The relationship between them was rather complicated, suggesting that fusion of several smaller anthocyanoplasts and the division of larger anthocyanoplasts occurred alternatively during the developmental course of anthocyanoplasts. This differs very markedly from the hypocotyls of radish which showed fusion only in their developmental stages. It was also found that the anthocyanoplasts in the hypocotyls of morning glory have the ability to display light reaction in anthocyanin biosynthesis exactly like the hypocotyls of radish., Article, 信州大学理学部紀要 27(1): 15-21(1992)}, pages = {15--21}, title = {Studies on the Spherical Bodies Containing Anthocyanins in Plant cells, IV. : A Survey of the Occurrence of Anthocyanoplasts in the Hypocotyls in some Plant Species.}, volume = {27}, year = {1992} }
