ABSTRACT = {Fresh spores of Equisetum arvense L. were irradiated for 5s, 15s, 30s or 60s, and examined with a transmission electron microscope. Alterations to the fine structure of the spore wall and the protoplasm are described. The exospore was more resistant to X-ray irradiation than to organic solvents, in particular diethylamine. The molecular structure of the spore wall was revealed by the X-ray effect. Resistance of the different layers of the sporomorphs to irradiation and organic solvents is important for understanding the complicated biopolymer system of the sporopollenin.},
