Instead of positing a rigid separation of forms of societies observed in TEM micrographs of embryogenic microspores correspond to polar sections of cup-shaped plastids. (A) Modeled subcellular volume. (B) Model excluding all the cell structures but the plastids (pl). The various plastid sorts are modeled in distinct colors: traditional (light green), open profiles engulfing cytoplasm (dark green), and closed profiles (yellow) with the engulfed cytoplasm (white). (C) Traditional, round-shaped plastid. (D) Disc-shaped plastid using a slight central depression (arrow). (E) Plastid starting to engulf cytoplasm. The arrow points to a deep depression thatcreates a cytoplasmic pocket inside the plastid.

We modeled every single plastid variety in various colors. Plastids with traditional morphologies (oval, round, or elongated, not engulfing cytoplasm) were modeled in light green (Figures 4B ). Some of them have been round or oval (Figure 4C), and other individuals exhibited a disc-like morphology with a slight central depression (arrow in Figure 4D; yellow arrow in Supplementary Film S2), suggesting the onset of a approach of membrane invagination. Plastids engulfing cytoplasm were modeled in dark green (Figures 4B,E '). These plastids presented various.2013). These multilamellar bodies presented an internal compartment with fibrillar material, equivalent to that present in lytic compartments. Closed plastid profiles with concentric membranes, dark, fibrillar, and disorganized contents, with each other with cytoplasmic and apoplastic multilamellar bodies, accounted for 16.3 with the atypical profiles observed. Altogether, these plastid profiles suggested the occurrence of plastid degradation and excretion out in the cell.3-D RECONSTRUCTION OF SUBCELLULAR VOLUMES OF EMBRYOGENIC MICROSPORESTable 1 | Quantitative evaluation of plastids of embryogenic microspores.
