ABSTRACT = {The ultrastructural changes of lenticels on the branches of Ficus microcarpa L.f. during the developmental wstages were studied. All the living precomplementary cells, complementary cells, and cells of the linticel phellogen and the closing layer contained a large vacuole, nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, and dictyosome.During the differentiation  and maturation of the lenticels, the cell walls of the closing layer, precomplementary cells, and complementary cells were progressively suberized. The electron microscopic examination of the suberized layers in the cell walls showed a lamellar appearance. The suberized outer tangential walls of the mature cells in the fragments were observed. The subcellular localizations of acid phosphatase were mainly distributed in the cell walls and vacuoles  near the tonoplast. In the closing layer, acid phosphatase was detected only in the plasmodesmata.},
