Involvement of AtMinE1 in Plastid Morphogenesis in Various Tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana.

The article presents a study that investigates the participation of AtMinE1 in the plastid morphogenesis of several tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana. It states that plastids of cotyledons, roots, and floral organs were examined in the Arabidopsis thaliana, and were compared with those in the wild type. The study showed that the plastid size in the atmine1 mutant is smaller than those in the wild type and the plastid number per cell in the atmine1 is comparably smaller than those in the wild type.
