Fig. 1

Confocal laser scanning microscopy images of C3 (rice) and C4 (maize) mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. Images are derived from paradermal sections. Representative maximum intensity projection image of a Z-stack from wild type rice (a) and maize (b). Bundle sheath and mesophyll cells are highlighted with white and blue lines respectively. Chloroplasts from bundle sheath cells of maize generate lower autofluorescence due to lower amounts of Photosystem II. Cp: Chloroplasts (pseudo colour: magenta)
