    On the Development of the «Specific» Cells During Micro and Macrosporangium Formation in Zea Mays
    (1971) Korobova, S.N.
    In the course of development of stamens and pistils of Zea mays, some peculiar cells begin to appear which are similar to the « specific » cells described in other grasses. They possess a number of specific features that testify to their high physiological activity. S-cells lie in the way of the substances moving from the conductive system to the developing sporangia and probably transform them, serving as a peculiar barrier for some of them. Maximal activity of S-cells coincides in time with the differentiation of the arches-porium and sporocyte development. S-cells evidently play a certain role at this phase of development of the generative sphere.
