…These granules are rich in quinones such as plastoquinone, α-tocopheryl quinone, and vitamin K, and contain small amounts of carotenoids and other lipids. Plasto granules are found in greater quantities in etioplasts of etiolated tissues than in mature chloroplasts, and are thought to serve as a storage site for quinone compounds because they decrease when etiolated tissues are exposed to light and thylakoids are formed, and increase when green leaves senesce and the thylakoid membrane system breaks down. The stroma contains areas with few proteins and ribosomes that transmit electron beams well, and thread-like (2.0-2.5 nm thick) or rod-like (5-10 nm long) structures identified as DNA can be seen there. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "etioplast" are listed below.

…この顆粒はプラストキノン,α‐トコフェリルキノン,ビタミンKなどのキノン類に富み,少量のカロチノイドその他の脂質を含む。プラスト顆粒は成熟した葉緑体よりも黄化組織のエチオプラストetioplastに多く含まれ,黄化組織が光を受けチラコイドが形成されるときには減少し,緑葉が老化しチラコイド膜系がこわれるとき増大することから,キノン化合物の貯蔵場所になっているものと考えられている。ストロマにはタンパク質やリボソームが少なく電子線をよく透過させる部域があり,そこにDNAと同定される糸状(太さ2.0~2.5nm)または棒状(長さ5~10nm)の構造が見られる。… ※「etioplast」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
