The nucleolar vacuole formation in soybean root meristematic cells from seedlings grown 3 d at temperature 25 deg C (control), 3 d at temperature 25 deg C and then transferred to 10 deg C (chilling) for 4 d, and after recovery for 1.5, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h at 25 deg C were observed on semi-thin sections. Simultaneously, autoradiographic studies with 3H-uridine on squashed preparations were carried out. During recovery of plants, the number of vacuolated nucleoli increased gradually from 24% after 1.5 h up to 40% after 24 h, while in the control there were 18% of nucleoli with vacuoles and after 4-d chilling only 5%. Labelling of cells during 20-min incubation in 3H-uridine and during 80-min post-incubation in non-radioactive medium was increased in recovered plants in comparison with the control and chilled plants. In conclusion, nucleolar vacuoles in soybean plants are formed as a result of migration of granular component accumulated in nucleolus during 4-d chilling.
