ResumoAbstract In rice root cells water-cultured with hemoglobin, there are morphologically two types of heterophagy. To examine the contribution of the lysosome system to these processes of heterophagy, the localization of AcPase activity was studied cytochemically. The results for the AcPase localization demonstrated that lytic enzymes were involved in heterophagy as well as autophagy. Although the origins of the digested materials are different, both heterophagy and autophagy are similar from the viewpoint of intracellular digestion. Vacuole formation and vacuole function are discussed in terms of the intracellular digestion.
