Ultrastructural changes in <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> pollen, between late microspore stage and mature pollen stage were described. When the generative cell was peeled off from the intine, it was of spherical shape and had all usual organelles with the exception of plastids. The cytoplasm transformation of the vegetative cell included an increase in the number of mitochondria and changes in the accumulation of starch and lipid bodies. The starch plastids were observed at the bicellular and early tricellular pollen stages and next starch was utilized during the maturation procces. The lipid bodies of the vegetative cell form a very regular sheath around the generative cell and then, around the sperm cells. Before anthesis the lipid bodies were dispersed within the whole vegetative cell cytoplasm.

SummarySeveral ultrastructural changes occur during dehydration and subsequent rehydration of Arabidopsis thaliana pollen. The cytoplasmic channels, present in the outer part of the intine of the mature, dehydrating pollen grain, degenerate and develop into electron-dense inclusions. At the same time a large quantity of electron-dense material is deposited in the cavities of the exine. A large number of vesicles is produced in the vegetative cell, and they become predominantly located in the peripheral region near the intine. Starch of amyloplasts is consumed and the lipid bodies which originally surround the sperm cells become randomly distributed. In addition, the individual lipid bodies become enveloped by single rough endoplasmic reticulum cisterns.

"Elaioplasts" observed in <em>Vanilla planifolia</em>, <em>Funkia Sieboldiana</em> and <em>Althaea rosea </em>exhibit all the features characteristic of lipotubuloids earlier described in <em>Ornithogalum umbellatum</em>. They are cytoplasmic domains containing aggregates of lipid bodies connected with microtubules. The immunogold technique confirmed the presence of tubulin in this domain. These structures do not have their own membranes but they are surrounded by a tonoplast at the side of a vacuole since they invaginate into it. In cytoplasm of this domain among lipid bodies there are numerous ribosomes, ER cisternae and vesicles as well as few mitochondria, Golgi structures and microbodies while at older developmental stages there are also autolytic vacuoles. The fact that they are so similar to <em>O. umbellatum</em> lipotubuloids suggest that "elaioplasts" of <em>V. planifolia</em>, <em>F. Sieboldiana </em>and <em>A. rosea </em>can also be named lipotubuloids.
