Re: [SO-devel] New term suggestion

[Pankaj J. <pj...@co...>]

'chloroplast chromosome' must be considered as synonym for 'plastid 
chromosome'. There is no difference in the genome/sequence, except that 
one was isolated (source) from a more developed form of the plastid i.e. 
chloroplast. If its mature and green the plastid is called chloroplast.

No need to create a separate term for it.
