Starch Granule and Protein Accumulation during Seed Development of Ginkgo biloba L.
Figure 5
Ultrastructure of starch granules and protein formation and accumulation in endosperm cells of G. biloba seeds. (a) Some starch granules accumulated in chloroplast 50 days after pollination; (b) starch granules accumulated in plastids 50 days after pollination; (c) starch granules increased by 70 days after pollination; ((d), (e)) starch granules 110 days after pollination; (f) protein body; (g) nucleus deformation 130 days after pollination; (h) starch granules 155 days after pollination; (i): protein body; P: protein body; Mi: mitochondrion; N: nucleus; S: starch granule; Th: thylakoid; V: vacuole; W: wall. (a) bar = 0.5 μm; ((b), (f), (h), and (g)) bar = 2 μm; (c) bar = 5 μm; (d) bar = 10 μm; ((e), (i)) bar = 1 μm.
