General Information
Term blepharoplast ID (Ontology) GO:0097727 (Gene Ontology)
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.[ PubMed:22691130 PubMed:25047614 ]
