Abstract excerpt

Maize leaf blades differentiate dimorphic photosynthetic cell types, the bundle sheath and mesophyll, between which the reactions of C(4) photosynthesis are partitioned. Leaf-like organs of maize such as husk leaves, however, develop a C(3) pattern of differentiation whereby ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) accumulates in all photosynthetic cell types. The Golden2 (G2) gene has previously been shown...
