Isolation of dimorphic chloroplasts from the single-cell C<sub>4 </sub>species <it>Bienertia sinuspersici</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Three terrestrial plants are known to perform C<sub>4 </sub>photosynthesis without the dual-cell system by partitioning two distinct types of chloroplasts in separate cytoplasmic compartments. We report herein a protocol for isolating the dimorphic ch...
