Salinity Stress Induces Granal Development in Bundle Sheath Chloroplasts of Maize, an NADP-Malic Enzyme-Type C4 Plant

Zea mays is an NADP-malic enzyme (ME)-type C4 plant. The C4 plants of this type are attractive species for ultrastructural and physiological studies because they possess reduced grana in bundle sheath cell (BSC) chloroplasts. The present study evaluated the effect of salinity on granal development i...
