Term Information

Accession: GO:0097727
Name: blepharoplast
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: An intracellular non-membrane-bounded organelle found in multi-ciliated sperm cells of some primitive land plants, and consisting of many radially arranged ninefold symmetric cylinders. The blepharoplast is involved in de novo formation of multiple centrioles; it enlarges and then disintegrates into many procentrioles, which elongate and ultimately nucleate cilia on the surface of the sperm cell. Source: PMID:25047614, GOC:tb, GOC:cilia, PMID:22691130
Comment: The blepharoplast should not be confused with a basal body; rather, it acts as the precursor assembly zone for multiple basal bodies.
