“…These vesicles were even more evident in the more mature green fruits, where some were appar ently free within the vacuoles. Similar structures have been observed in a va riety of other plant tissues, and the general consensus appears to be that the cytoplasmic vesicles and vacuolar pockets represent a pathway for move ment of material into the vacuole (Thomson, 1967b;Walker and Bisulputra, 1967;Coulomb, 1968Coulomb, , 1973Fin eran, 1970Fin eran, , 1971Mahlberg, Olson, and Walkinshaw, 1970;Villiers, 1971Villiers, ,1972aMesquita, 1972;Matile, 1974). The most striking changes associated with the tonoplast were in the epidermal cells of the maturing green fruits prior to color change.…”
