Recent results obtained by electron microscopic and biochemical analyses of greening Chlamydomonas reinhardtii y1 suggest that localized expansion of the plastid envelope is involved in thylakoid biogenesis. Kinetic analyses of the assembly of light-harvesting complexes and development of photosynthetic function when degreened cells of the alga are exposed to light suggest that proteins integrate into membrane at the level of the envelope. Current information, therefore, supports the earlier conclussion that the chloroplast envelope is a major biogenic structure, from which thylakoid membranes emerge. Chloroplast development in Chlamydomonas provides unique opportunities to examine in detail the biogenesis of thylakoids.
最近对绿藻莱茵衣藻 y1 的电子显微镜和生化分析的结果表明，质体膜的局部扩张参与了类囊体的生物发生。当藻类的去绿细胞暴露在光下时，对光捕获复合物的组装和光合功能的发展进行的动力学分析表明，蛋白质在膜的水平上整合到膜中。因此，目前的信息支持早先的结论，即叶绿体膜是一个主要的生物发生结构，类囊体膜从中出现。衣藻中的叶绿体发育为详细研究类囊体的生物发生提供了独特的机会。
