Any thylakoid within a plastid. A plastid arrested in the development of chloroplasts from proplastids due to absence of light or low light conditions. 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 membrane of prothylakoids, underdeveloped thylakoids found in etioplasts, lacking competent photosynthetic membranes. The pigmented membrane of any thylakoid. Underdeveloped thylakoids found in etioplasts, lacking competent photosynthetic membranes. Rapidly develop into mature thylakoids in the presence of light. The lipid bilayer membrane of any thylakoid within a plastid.
