Cellular and ultrastructural changes in mesophyll and bundle sheath cells of maize in response to water stress.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrastructural changes were correlated with leaf water potential, relative water content, and abscisic acid levels in the leaf. Mesophyll cells were more prone to damage than bundle sheath cells at a leaf water potential of -18.5 bars. Tonoplast breakdown and cell disruption occurred in 25% of the mesophyll cells. On rewatering, these disrupted cells did not recover. In bundle sheath cells, starch, lost at about -13.5 bars leaf water potential, reappeared within 2.5 hours of rewatering.

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...

The intercellular distribution of the enzymes and metabolites of assimilatory sulfate reduction and glutathione synthesis was analyzed in maize (Zea mays L. cv LG 9) leaves. Mesophyll cells and strands of bundle-sheath cells from second leaves of 11-d-old maize seedlings were obtained by two different mechanical-isolation methods. Cross-contamination of cell preparations was determined using ri...
متن کاملThe maize golden2 gene defines a novel class of transcriptional regulators in plants.
In the C4 plant maize, three photosynthetic cell types differentiate: C4 bundle sheath, C4 mesophyll, and C3 mesophyll cells. C3 mesophyll cells represent the ground state, whereas C4 bundle sheath and C4 mesophyll cells are specialized cells that differentiate in response to light-induced positional signals. The Golden2 (G2) gene regulates plastid biogenesis in all photosynthetic cells during ...
