Abstract excerpt
The mature maize leaf is characterised by a series of parallel veins that are surrounded by concentric rings of bundle sheath (BS) and mesophyll (M) cells. To identify genes that control cellular differentiation patterns in the leaf, we have isolated a group of mutations that specifically disrupt the differentiation of a single cell type. In maize bundle sheath defective (bsd) mutants, C4 photosynthetic...
