Comment on new organelle!!!!
Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoI think plastid is the generic term for that organelle family and chloroplasts are plastids specialized for photosynthesis.
So they probably don’t want to state the plastids have a function they havent confirmed or something like that

You are correct about the definitions but I’d imagine chloroplasts have some relatively standard assays which would have been tried, though this isn’t really my area of expertise.
