A double membrane structure enclosing an organelle, including two lipid bilayers and the region between them. In some cases, an organelle envelope may have more than two membranes. 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. The double lipid bilayer enclosing the cyanelle and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space. Either of the lipid bilayers that surround a cyanelle and form the cyanelle envelope. The double lipid bilayer enclosing a plastid and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space. 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 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.
