Abstract

The lutoïds from Hevea brasiliensis latex represent a polydisperse lysosomal compartment. They contain RNA which is resistant to RNase in conditions which maintain the integrity of the lutoïds but is hydrolyzed when these organelles are destabilized. This RNA appears to be a structural component of the lutoïds.
