  Summary: All three reviewers as well as myself are impressed by the in depth and multi-method analysis of chloroplast and thylakoid membrane development provided in your study, including time courses of 3D imaging combining TEM, SBF-SEM and confocal microscopy, lipidomics and proteomics. However, some analyses need to be improved and/or better explained.

  • There is a concern about the proteomics analysis, as the low number of proteins changing in abundance upon de-etiolation is unexpected. It is not clear how the samples were harvested. Were they harvested in the light and could that have influenced protein abundance? The harvesting procedure needs to be better explained. Or is the proteomics method not sensitive enough? The proteomics should be validated, for example by Western Blots with well-established marker proteins such as phyA and HY5.

  • Please also add loading controls to Fig 6 and the associated supplemental figure.

  • Please explain better how the volume of dividing chloroplasts was determined.
