Elaioplasts are one of the three possible forms of leucoplasts, sometimes broadly referred to as such. [1] The main function of elaioplasts is synthesis and storage of fatty acids , terpenes , and other lipids , and they can be found in the embryonic leaves of certain plants, as well as the anthers of many flowering plants .
Lacking photosynthetic pigments, leucoplasts are located in non-photosynthetic tissues of plants, such as roots, bulbs and seeds.They may be specialized for bulk storage of starch, lipid or protein and are then known as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, or proteinoplasts (also called aleuroplasts) respectively.
Many plants have elaiosomes that attract ants, which take the seed to their nest and feed the elaiosome to their larvae. After the larvae have consumed the elaiosome, the ants take the seed to their waste disposal area, which is rich in nutrients from the ant frass and dead bodies, where the seeds germinate .
