Thylakoid development in three dimensions. As dark-adapted runner bean seedlings are illuminated, the paracrystalline prolamellar body of the etioplast ([A] and [B]) becomes disorganized ([C] and [D]), as membranes flatten ([E] and [F]) and are transformed into stacked grana ([G] and [H]). (Reprinted from Kowalewska et al. [2016].)
