a Localization of starch in protuberances at the periphery of the chloroplast. b Mitochondria proximity to the chloroplast envelope. c Relative localization of chloroplast, starch, and mitochondria. d Mitochondria distance to starch. Starch is visible in cells chemically fixed on the day of sampling, whereas it has been hydrolyzed in cells stored 5 days in the dark at 4 °C. The internal organization represents the chloroplast envelope, in green, starch in purple, and mitochondria, in yellow.
