The role of plasma membrane aquaporins in regulating the bundle sheath-mesophyll continuum and leaf hydraulics.
Our understanding of the cellular role of aquaporins (AQPs) in the regulation of whole-plant hydraulics, in general, and extravascular, radial hydraulic conductance in leaves (K(leaf)), in particular, is still fairly limited. We hypothesized that the AQPs of the vascular bundle sheath (BS) cells regulate K(leaf). To examine this hypothesis, AQP genes were silenced using artificial microRNAs tha...
متن کاملbundle sheath defective2, a Mutation That Disrupts the Coordinated Development of Bundle Sheath and Mesophyll Cells in the Maize Leaf.
Within the maize leaf primordium, coordinated cell division and differentiation patterns result in the development of two morphologically and biochemically distinct photosynthetic cell types, the bundle sheath and the mesophyll. The bundle sheath defective2-mutable1 (bsd2-m1) mutation specifically disrupts C4 differentiation in bundle sheath cells in that the levels of bundle sheath cell-specif...
متن کاملIsolation of Mesophyll Cells and Bundle Sheath Cells from Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. Leaves and a Scanning Microscopy Study of the Internal Leaf Cell Morphology.
A technique is described for the separation of mesophyll and bundle sheath cells from Digitaria sanguinalis leaves and evidence for separation is given with light and scanning electron micrographs. Gentle grinding of fully differentiated leaves in a mortar releases mesophyll cells which are isolated on nylon nets by filtration. More extensive grinding of the remaining tissue yields bundle sheat...
متن کاملSeparation of mesophyll protoplasts and bundle sheath cells from maize leaves for photosynthetic studies.
Mesophyll protoplasts and bundle sheath strands of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves have been isolated by enzymatic digestion with cellulase. Mesophyll protoplasts, enzymatically released from maize leaf segments, were further purified by use of a polyethylene glycol-dextran liquid-liquid two phase system. Bundle sheath strands released from the leaf segments were isolated using filtration techniques...
متن کاملBundle sheath cells and cell-specific plastid development in Arabidopsis leaves.
Bundle sheath cells form a sheath around the entire vascular tissue in Arabidopsis leaves and constitute a distinct leaf cell type, as defined by their elongate morphology, their position adjacent to the vein and by differences in their chloroplast development compared to mesophyll cells. They constitute about 15% of chloroplast-containing cells in the leaf. In order to identify genes which pla...
