Plasmodiet
Plasmodiet is a proposed subcellular unit described within plasmodial, coenytic cells. The term derives from plasmodium and the diminutive suffix -et, implying a small organelle-like body within a syncytial cytoplasm.
In the current descriptive literature, plasmodiets are depicted as small, membrane-bound bodies dispersed throughout the cytoplasm
The hypothesized function of plasmodiets is to organize metabolic activities in a large cytoplasmic volume. They
Formation and dynamics: plasmodiets are thought to originate from remodeling of the endomembrane system during cytoplasmic
Evidence and status: reports of discrete plasmodiet-like structures come from a limited set of imaging studies,
