The ultrastructure characteristics of photosynthetic tissues and dynamic of content of chloroplast pigments from different organs of horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.) were studied. In chlorenchyma cells of lower branches from vegetative shoots the clusters of chloroplasts with differentiated structure have been identified. The key role of lower branches chlorenchyma in chlorophyll accumulation during ontogenesis was ascertained.
