Fig. 7From: 3D electron tomographic and biochemical analysis of ER, Golgi and trans Golgi network membrane systems in stimulated Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) glandular cellsGallery of tomographic reconstructions of Golgi stack cisternae of control and stimulated Venus flytrap gland cells. The individual cisternae (C1–C7) are viewed from the cis-side of the stacks. The C1 cis-cisternae exhibit the greatest variability in size and architecture. Control (non-stimulated) Golgi cisternae typically possess many peripheral fenestrae, whereas the BSA-stimulated Golgi possess few. BSA stimulation also caused a reduction in the number of cisternae (days 4, 6) and an increase in size of the bulbous cisternal margins that give rise to budding secretory-type TGN vesicles.
