Abstract:In the leaves of C3 species such as rice, mesophyll cells contain the largest compartment of photosynthetically active chloroplasts. In contrast, plants that use the derived and more efficient C4 photosynthetic pathway have a significant chloroplast compartment in both bundle sheath and mesophyll cells. Accordingly, the evolution of C4 photosynthesis from the ancestral C3 state requires an increase in the chloroplast compartment of the bundle sheath. Here we investigated the potential to increase chloroplast c… Show more
