Fig. 1. Ultrastructure of the Allium Sativum cell nucleolus and the
morphological characteristics of DNA in the nucleolus after DNA-specific
staining. (A) Conventional electron microscopic sample preparation. The
nucleolus is composed of the fibrillar center (FC, arrows), the dense
fibrillar component (DFC), the granular component (GC) and the nucleolar
vacuoles (V). The nucleolus consists of many small FCs (arrows). In the FCs,
dense chromatin clumps are distributed. (B,D) The DNA fibers appear in the
nucleolar region after NAMA-Ur DNA-specific staining, and (C) the lowest
electronic density region contains DNA clumps (arrows). D is an enlarged view
of the nucleolus region of B. Bars, 0.5 µm.
