Salinity Induces Granal Development in Bundle Sheath Chloroplasts of NADP-Malic Enzyme Type C4 Plants

In NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) type C4 plants, MC chloroplasts have well-developed grana, whereas BSC chloroplasts are generally characterized by highly reduced grana. In the previous study, salt treatment induced granal development in BSC chloroplasts of Zea mays, an NADP-ME type C4 plant. Therefor...
