Stromule formation is dependent upon plastid size, plastid differentiation status and the density of plastids within the cell (2004)
Journal Article
Waters, M., Fray, R., & Pyke, K. (2004). Stromule formation is dependent upon plastid size, plastid differentiation status and the density of plastids within the cell

Stromules are motile extensions of the plastid envelope membrane, whose roles are not fully understood. They are present on all plastid types but are more common and extensive on non-green plastids that are sparsely distributed within the cell. Durin...
