WHAT DOES PROPLASTID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Plastid

The plastid is a major organelle found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine the cell's color. They possess a double-stranded DNA molecule, which is circular, like that of prokaryotes.

Definition of proplastid in the English dictionary

The definition of proplastid in the dictionary is a plant cell organelle that a plastid develops from.

1
Chloroplast Biogenesis: From Proplastid to Gerontoplast
This book describes the structural features of prop las tid and its transformation to fully mature chloroplast, which is subsequently transformed into gerontoplast exhibiting senescence syndrome. The book consists of five major chapters.

The Structure and Function of Plastids
The tubules are often seen to connect to the inner membrane of the proplastid envelope (c.f. Kirk and Tilney-Bassett, 1 967, Fig. 1.36) but such connections are lost early in development and are rarely (never?) seen in mature plastids of any ...

An Introduction to Plant Cell Development
In meristematic cells, the representative plastid is an undifferentiated organelle called a proplastid. In the course of the development of the cell to other differentiated forms, its plastids too differentiate and develop new structures and functions.
Jeremy Burgess, 1985

Physiology
The proplastid of Euglena (Fig. 2) in dark-grown resting cells is rather small and undifferentiated, like the proplastids of dark-grown Ochromonas danica (Gibbs, 1962) and the younger etiolated leaves of higher plants, when compared with the  ...

Cell and Molecular Biology of Plastids
Differences in proplastid number according to cell position within the meristem or in organs derived from it may well exist (Lyndon and Robertson 1976), but whether such differences are significant to cellular function are unclear and they may ...
