Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the ARC3, ARC5 and ARC6 genes of Arabidopsis thaliana affect chloroplast division. We investigated whether ARC3, ARC5 and ARC6 are also involved in determining plastid morphology in nongreen tissues, where stromules, stroma-filled tubular extensions of the plastid envelope membrane, are more abundant than in mesophyll cells. Using plastid-targeted green fluorescent protein to observe plastids...
