Abstract
In dark grown plants the etioplasts show an interesting internal structure: the “prolamellar body” (PLB). Many attempts have been made to explain its paracrystalline structure, and there have been described many experiments to show the chemical composition of this tubular or vesicular structure (for review see Latz 1981 a,b). Usually, these experiments were done with “fully developed” etioplasts, defined by containing a large, well crystallized PLB.
