Structural and Functional Differentiation of Bundle Sheath and Mesophyll Cells in the Lamina Joint of Rice Compared with that in the Corresponding Region of the Liguleless Genotype

The structural and functional characterization of the blade-sheath boundary region of a rice cultivar T65 and its near-isogenic line T65lg were examined by light and electron microscopy and in situ hybridization. Starch accumulation in bundle sheath cells was compared between the lamina joint of T65...
