Abstract
The chromoplasts of yellow perigon leaves of Tulipa derive from the young chloroplasts present in the bud stage. During chromoplast development and thylakoid breakdown many large plastoglobuli (diameter 80-360 nm) are formed. The function of the petal plastoglobuli as stores for the chromoplast lipids such as plastidquinones and carotenoids is discussed.Entities:
