Abstract
Glyoxysomes, a form of microbody, are present in castor bean endosperm during the first 8 days of seed germination. They have a “typical” microbody form and are shown histochemically to contain catalase. The catalase label is distributed throughout the microbody and is not an exclusive feature of the crystalline or amorphous core.
