- Function of Amyloplasts: Amyloplasts are non-pigmented plastids (leucoplasts) specialized for the polymerization and long-term storage of starch (amylose and amylopectin) in nutrient storage organs such as roots, tubers (potatoes), and seed endosperms.
- Plastid Specializations: Proteinoplasts/aleuroplasts store proteins, while elaioplasts store lipids/oils. Amyloplasts in root columella cells also serve as statoliths for gravity perception (gravitropism).
