Abstract excerpt
While it has been established that binary fission of leaf chloroplasts requires the prokaryote-derived, division site determinant protein MinE, it remains to be clarified whether chloroplast division in non-leaf tissues and the division of non-colored plastids also involve the MinE protein. In an attempt to address this issue, plastids of cotyledons, floral organs, and roots were examined in the Arabidopsis...
