Ultrastructure of chloroplasts in leaf mesophyll cells of triazine resistant and triazine sensitiveAmaranthus retroflexus L. plants was evaluated stereologically. The most striking difference between both types of the chloroplasts was a small volume of starch inclusions in triazine resistant plants.
