Michaelis in Adv. Genetics VI. 290 I propose..with Renner (1929) to include all extranuclear hereditary elements of the cell in the term plasmon, and to subdivide this into (1) the cytoplasmon, that is, the elements of the cytoplasm, and (2) the plastom, that is, the hereditary elements of the plastids, [etc.]. 1970 T.
