Plastids and Vacuoles: Exploring Plant Cell Organelles
Plastids
Plastids are organelles found exclusively in plant cells. They vary in shape and size and are enclosed by a double membrane containing circular DNA. All plastids originate from undifferentiated proplastids present in the dividing cells of plant roots and shoots.
Based on the needs of differentiated cells, proplastids develop into various types of mature plastids, which can transform from one type to another. The collection of plastids within a cell is called the plastidoma.
Types of Plastids
