Abstract Leaves are asymmetric, with different functions for adaxial and abaxial tissue. The bundle sheath (BS) of C3 barley (Hordeum vulgare) is dorsoventrally differentiated into three types cells: structural, lateral S-type, L-type BS cells. Based on plasmodesmatal connections between S-type cells mestome (parenchymatous cell layer below sheath), likely transfer assimilates toward the phloem...
