From: NAL8 encodes a prohibitin that contributes to leaf and spikelet development by regulating mitochondria and chloroplasts stability in rice

Fig. 3

Leaf cell chloroplasts of the nal8 mutant have smaller plastoglobules and aberrant thylakoids. a, b Transmission electron microscope images of intact chloroplastic ultrastructure of indica line TQ. Scale bar = 1 μm. c, d Enlarged images from a and b showing details of the ultrastructure of line TQ chloroplasts. Blue arrows indicate the continuous thylakoids, and red arrows indicate the plastoglobules. Scale bar = 250 nm. e, f Chloroplastic ultrastructure of the nal8 mutant line. Scale bar = 1 μm. g, h Enlarged images of e and f showing details of the ultrastructure of chloroplasts from the nal8 mutant. Blue arrows indicate the thylakoids, and red arrows indicate the plastoglobules. Scale bar = 250 nm. i-l Ultrastructure of intact mitochondria from line TQ (i, j) and the nal8 mutant (k, l). Scale bar = 250 nm
