The nucleolus

HG Schwarzacher, F Wachtler - Anatomy and embryology, 1993 - Springer
Nucleoli are the sites of biosynthesis of the ribosomal precursors. They contain may copies
of the genes for the main rRNAs (18 S-and 28 S-rRNA) in the form of tandemly arranged …

Functional ultrastructure of the plant nucleolus

D Stępiński - Protoplasma, 2014 - Springer
Nucleoli are nuclear domains present in almost all eukaryotic cells. They not only specialize
