The sub-cellular localization of some nitrogen compounds within the leaf cavities ofAzolla filiculoides Lam. was obtained by means of electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The analyses were performed on ultrathin unstained sections of differentAzolla leaf cavities which contain epidermal hairs,Anabaena azollae Strasb. and bacteria. Net nitrogen distributions were visualized by image analysis, and nitrogen peaks were evidenced in spectra recorded in the same areas. Different distributions of nitrogen compounds were observed within the leaf cavities along the stem, in particular inside the epidermal hairs ofAzolla and the vegetative cells and heterocysts ofA. azollae.

Abstract
The sub-cellular localization of some nitrogen compounds within the leaf cavities ofAzolla filiculoides Lam. was obtained by means of electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The analyses were performed on ultrathin unstained sections of differentAzolla leaf cavities which contain epidermal hairs,Anabaena azollae Strasb. and bacteria. Net nitrogen distributions were visualized by image analysis, and nitrogen peaks were evidenced in spectra recorded in the same areas. Different distributions of nitrogen compounds were observed within the leaf cavities along the stem, in particular inside the epidermal hairs ofAzolla and the vegetative cells and heterocysts ofA. azollae.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
