Live cell imaging of human malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum during gametocytogenesis revealed that the apicoplast does not grow, whereas the mitochondrion undergoes remarkable morphological development. A close connection of the two organelles is consistently maintained. The apicoplast and mitochondrion are not components of the male gametes, suggesting maternal inheritance.
对恶性疟原虫配子体生成过程中的人体疟原虫进行活细胞成像显示,顶质体不生长,而线粒体经历显著的形态发育。这两个细胞器始终保持紧密连接。顶质体和线粒体不是雄配子的组成部分,提示存在母系遗传。
