Summary
Stages in meiosis have been studied in six basidiomycetes using the electron microscope. Monoglobular and diglobular spindle pole bodies are described. The monoglobular SPB was present at pachytene. The diglobular SPB was present at prekaryogamy, karyogamy and after meiosis. The relationship between the monoglobular and diglobular SPB's is discussed.
