Filipin was used as a cytochemical probe for membrane sterols in the root storage tissue of the red beet Beta vulgaris L. and the chloroplasts of Spinacia oleracea L. In unfixed beet tissue, filipin lysed the cells. Freeze-fracture replicas revealed that the filipin-sterol complexes were tightly aggregated in the plasma membrane, while in thin section the complexes corrugated the plasma membrane. If the cells were fixed with glutaraldehyde prior to the filipin treatment, the cell structure was preserved. Filipin-induced lesions were dispersed or clustered loosely in the plasma membrane. A few filipin-sterol complexes were observed in the tonoplast. In spinach chloroplasts, filipin-sterol complexes were limited to the outer membrane of the envelope and were not found in the inner membrane of the envelope or in the lamellar membranes. If the filipin-sterol complexes accurately mapped the distribution of membrane sterols, then sterol was located predominantly in the plasma membrane of the red beet and in the outer membrane of the chloroplast envelope. Furthermore, the sterol may be heterogenously distributed laterally in both these membranes.
