| Comments | "Mature chloroplasts may contain 40 to 60 grana stacks with diameters of 0.3 to 0.6µm. The number of thylakoids per stack in mature thylakoids varies from < 10 in high light chloroplasts to as many as 100 thylakoids in the extreme shade plant Alocasia macrorhiza (Goodchild et al. 1972)." |
