The proportion of the vascular
bundle sheath was larger in U.
In Minasia, the chlorophyll parenchyma is delimited by the presence of the colorless parenchyma in the middle of mesophyll, which interconnects the vascular bundles, and by the
bundle sheath extensions, and it is generally restricted to sectors under the stomata (Figs.
In the present study, we introduced the use of micro-dissectors and a microknife to dissect the
bundle sheath and to selectively resect isolated nerve branches, with the adjacent SPA kept intact.
Vascular bundles contain of
bundle sheath one layered, thin walled and without chloroplast parenchymatous cells.
Asterisk indicates
bundle sheath with cells that radiate away from the sheath (Kranz structure); arrow indicates funneled cell.
These two 4-carbon compounds are then transferred in to the
bundle sheath cells, where they are decarboxylated (carbon is dropped off).
Malate is a carrier that transfers CO2 and NADPH from mesophyll cells (MC) to vascular
bundle sheath cells (BSC) in C4 plant photosynthesis.

Variation in [Delta] among [C.sub.4] plants has been attributed to morphological features of
bundle sheath cells that can result in different rates of leakage (Hattersley, 1982).
The sheath cells of small VBs are large and
bundle sheath is complete and single in all vascular bundles.
Isolation of intact and functional chloroplasts from mesophyll and

marks only one variation among others with similar function, such as the starch sheath in the stem and the
bundle sheath around foliar vascular bundles.
