A colorless plastid involved in the synthesis of monoterpenes. A plastid found in senescing, formerly green tissues that is derived from a chloroplast that undergoes an organized developmental program of senescence. A plastid whose main function is to synthesize and store starch. A plastid arrested in the development of chloroplasts from proplastids due to absence of light or low light conditions. The plastid organelle found in apicomplexans. A leucoplast in which protein is stored. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane. Any member of a family of organelles found in the cytoplasm of plants and some protists, which are membrane-bounded and contain DNA. Plant plastids develop from a common type, the proplastid. Any constituent part of the cytoplasm, all of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. The precursor of other plastids. Any constituent part of a plastid, a member of a family of organelles found in the cytoplasm of plants and some protists, which are membrane-bounded and contain DNA. Plant plastids develop from a common type, the proplastid. A leucoplast in which oil is stored. A plastid that contains unstacked, phycobilisome-bearing thylakoid membranes and is surrounded by a peptidoglycan layer as well as a double membrane. Cyanelles are characteristic of algae in the class Glaucophyta, and may represent an ancestral form of plastid. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. Any constituent part of the living contents of a cell; the matter contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane, usually taken to exclude large vacuoles and masses of secretory or ingested material. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. A plastid containing pigments other than chlorophyll, usually yellow and orange carotenoid pigments. A chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma.
