Model of environmental, cellular, and temporal factors that influence chloroplast biogenesis and development in seedlings. Environmental factors involved are, among others, light, the cellular factors include the communication between the organelles, and the embryo development is one of the temporal factors that influences chloroplast biogenesis in germinating seedlings.
