Effect of Pb and GSH on primary root ultrastructure in upland cotton Transmission electron micrographs represent root tips cell morphology of control (A), 500 μM Pb (B), 50 μM GSH (C) and 500 μM Pb + 50 μM GSH (D) in cotton seedlings. Control cells (A) posses cytoplasm embedded with nucleus (N) containing nucleoli (Ne), vacuole (V), Golgi vesicles (G) and several mitochondria (M). In Pb-treated cells (B), plasma membrane (Pm) was broken and cytoplasm severely damaged. Electron dense particles (⟸) were scattered throughout the cell. GSH (C) induced formation of vacuoles, mitochondria and multivesicular structures. In GSH + Pb (D), large multivesicular structures contained amyloplasts (A), thylakoids (Ta) and microtubules (Mt).
