TLDR
The endoplasmic reticulum of Saprolegnia, Dictyuchus, Synura and Cryptomonas may contain tubules less than 20 nm in diameter that are morphologically similar to Flimmer hairs, which are attached to the flagellum sheath by a tapering end-piece.Abstract:
The endoplasmic reticulum of Saprolegnia, Dictyuchus, Synura and Cryptomonas may contain tubules less than 20 nm in diameter. In Saprolegnia these tubules have a maximum length of 1.6 µm, a wall of a single layer of colchicine-resistant, osmiophilic subunits, and a tapering end-piece. Flimmer hairs (flagellar hairs) are morphologically similar and are attached to the flagellum sheath by a tapering end-piece. It is suggested that Flimmer hairs are produced in cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum of the above organisms. Cryptomonas bears 2 rows of Flimmer hairs on one flagellum and a single row of shorter ones on the other.read more

The structure, origin, isolation, and composition of the tubular mastigonemes of the ochromonas flagellum
TL;DR: The structure, assembly, and composition of the extracellular hairs (mastigonemes) of Ochromonas are detailed in this report and the functionally anomalous role of mastigonememes in reversing flagellar thrust is discussed in relation to their distribution relative to flagella anatomy and to the plane of flageLLar undulations.

The Chloroplast Endoplasmic Reticulum: Structure, Function, and Evolutionary Significance
TL;DR: The chapter proves that the chloroplast of cryptomonads arose from a eukaryotic endosymbiont; and the nucleomorph has the major characteristics of a nucleus.

The route of entry of cytoplasmically synthesized proteins into chloroplasts of algae possessing chloroplast ER
TL;DR: In cells of Ochromonas exposed to chloramphenicol or spectinomycin, the periplastidal reticulum proliferates markedly becoming several layers thick, presumably because the transport of cytoplasmically synthesized plastid proteins is slowed down when protein synthesis in the chloroplast is inhibited.

TL;DR: The latest discoveries in the development and biology of the oomycete zoospore are discussed, which include chemotactic responses, electrotaxis, and autotaxis or autoaggregation to target new hosts for infection.

Microtubules and fibrils in the cytoplasm of coleus cells undergoing secondary wall deposition
Peter K. Hepler,Eldon H. Newcomb +1 more
TL;DR: This study has demonstrated the presence of two different cytoplasmic components which appear to be associated with the rapidly developing secondary wall: microtubular structures aligned in the cy toplasm adjacent to the secondary wall; and clusters of fibrillar elements within cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum.

TL;DR: Observations are compatible with the view that the contents of contiguous mature sieve elements, including the P-protein, are continuous through the sieve-plate pores and that fixing solutions denature the proteins in the pores.

The ultrastructure of the chloroplasts of algae.
TL;DR: When cells of Ochromonas danica are fixed in potassium permanganate in order to resolve unit membrane structure, the chloroplast discs are seen to be collapsed internally as well as appressed together externally.

TL;DR: The regularity of attachment of mastigonemes to the flageLLar surface suggests that specific attachment sites are constructed on the plasma membrane during flagellar ontogeny.
