Fig. 8 in In situ experiments on the effect of low pH on the ultrastructure of the seagrasses Cymodocea nodosa and Posidonia oceanica Abstract

Fig. 8: A-H. TEM micrographs of young epidermal cells of C. nodosa after three weeks transfer at S2 area. A. Surface view of epidermal cells. They are disorganized and most of the organelles are not easily seen. B. Epidermal cell with wavy cell walls and a central nucleus with loose and partially disrupted nuclear membrane. C. A group of peripherally distributed mitochondria containing a rather amorphous mass of destroyed cristae. D. Dictyosome with rounded and loose cisternae. E. Disorganized chloroplasts with remnants of thylakoids and starch grains. F. Cortical cytoplasmic area with disorganized mitochondria and inflated ER fragments. G. Higher magnification of inflated fragments of RER with attached electron-dense material. H. ER membrane-like network with projecting edges filled with electron-dense material. Scale bars = 2 μm (A), 1μm (B) 0.5μm (C), 0.2 (D, E, F) and 0.1 (G, H).
