Abstract
During reversion of chromoplasts to chloroplasts the gra la-fretwork system is evidently built up from small vesicles which pinch off from the inner plastid membrane. As the chromoplast regreens, the larve osmiophilic globules become reduced in size and number, and there may be a utilization of the lipid material of these globules during the formation of the internal membrane system. It is suggested that irreversible senescences of the chromoplasts probably is dependent on changes in the plastid membrane.
