| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Generally, non-green plastids tend to possess highly developed stromule(s). In our previous study, the author obtained two mutants of Arabiodopsis in which overformation of stromules were observed in leaf epidermis. Using these mutants, the author studied the regulation of stromule formation and obtained some insights as follows: (i) SUBA1 is involved in the regulation of stromule formation globally over various tissues, (ii) SUBA2 might interact with MinD/E, (iii) suba mutations affect plastid morphology and/or movement in pollen grains and tubes.
