The region of a chloroplast to which the DNA is confined. Any constituent part of a chloroplast, a chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma. The proteinaceous ground substance of 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. The space enclosed by the double membrane of a chloroplast but excluding the thylakoid space. It contains DNA, ribosomes and some temporary products of photosynthesis. A circular DNA molecule containing chloroplast encoded genes. The region of a bacterial cell, mitochondrion or chloroplast to which the DNA is confined. The region of a plastid to which the DNA is confined. A chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma.
