Abstract:Plastids are complex organelles that vary in size and function depending on the cell type. Accordingly, they can be referred to as amyloplasts, chloroplasts, chromoplasts, etioplasts, proplasts to only cite a few denominations.

However, these methods need large amounts of starting material, and hardly provide a tissue-specific resolution. Here, we applied our I… Show more
