Structural and functional polymorphism of plastids in leaves of Clivia miniata Rgl. I. Ontogenesis of plastids in epidermis and guard cells
Abstract
During leaf ontogenesis in Clivia miniata epidermal and guard cell plastids differing in structure and function differentiate from morphologically equal proplastids. Plastid differentiation proceeds in parallel to cellular differentiation and stops in cells reaching maturity. It is suggested that the developmental sequence of plastids is fixed within cells and controlled by the inner mechanisms.
