Plastoglobule lipoprotein particles in chloroplasts. A. Schematic diagram of a chloroplast. The organelle is delimited by a double membrane system (envelope). The interior of chloroplasts comprises the aqueous stroma, the thylakoid membranes (green) and starch granules (yellow). Plastoglobules (black circles) are lipid particles associated with thylakoids. B. Transmission electron micrograph of an Arabidopsis chloroplast. Plastoglobules are visible as dark round bodies after postfixation with osmium tetroxide.
