Accelerated remodeling of the mesophyll-bundle sheath interface in the maize C4 cycle mutant leaves

Peng Gao et al.

Summary: C4 photosynthesis in maize leaf involves the exchange of organic acids between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells, which is mediated by plasmodesmata. Changes in plasmodesmata and cell wall suberization affect the symplastic transport between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. When there are differences in chloroplast morphology, plasmodesmata acquire sphincter and cytoplasmic sleeves, and suberin is discerned in the cell wall. Mutants affected in C4 cycle show earlier remodeling of plasmodesmata, inhibition of symplastic transport, and suberization of the cell wall compared to the wild type.
