Inheritance of the genome-less apicoplast in the 'apicoplast-minus' Plasmodium falciparum

Wei Xu, Ikechukwu Chidiebere Nwankwo, Sean T. Prigge, Hangjun Ke

This study challenges the apicoplast-minus concept in Plasmodium falciparum by showing that apicoplast-derived vesicles are inherited and retain four-membrane structures, suggesting a genome-less apicoplast derivative called apicosomes.
