The ultrasturcture of the cell nucleus and perinuclear cytoplasm in Acetabularia is quite different in young and old cells. When a nucleus of an old cell was implanted into the cytoplasm of a young cell the nucleus assumed the morphology typical of a young cell within less than 10 days. The cytoplasm of an old cell was able to induce the reverse change in an implanted nucleus from a young cell. This cytoplasmic induction of nuclear ageing appeared to proceed more rapidly than rejuvenation.
