This project investigates the development of specialized bundle sheath cells in C4 plants, which enhance photosynthesis by concentrating carbon dioxide. Using advanced imaging and molecular techniques, it aims to understand the structural adaptations of these cells and their impact on photosynthetic efficiency.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY The architecture of specialised cell types intricately aligns with cell function. A prime example is the bundle sheath (BS) cells of plants conducting C4 photosynthesis, in which CO2 is concentrated.
This concentration mechanism increases photosynthetic efficiency by up to 50% compared to plants that use the more common C3 photosynthetic pathway. BS cells of C4 plants have two key adaptations: increased connectivity with adjacent mesophyll cells via numerous plasmodesmata that f…
