Differential Sensitivity of Chloroplasts in Mesophyll and Bundle Sheath Cells in Maize, an NADP-Malic Enzyme-Type C4 Plant, to Salinity Stress
The changes in chloroplast ultrastructure and the contents of chlorophyll, Na and K in response to salinity stress were investigated in leaves of maize, an NADP-malic enzyme-type C4 plant species possessing dimorphic chloroplasts. The seedlings were treated with 0, 1, 2 or 3% NaCl for three or five...
