Transcriptomic landscape of rice bundle sheath and mesophyll across a temporal gradient of leaf development

Photosynthetic evolution has led to significant variations in spatial and temporal gene expression orchestrating carbon fixation pathways, shaping distinct of cell types in leaf. Notably, the operation of C4 pathways between bundle sheath and mesophyll cells represents a pivotal adaptation. This study would provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the development bundle sheath and mesophyll cells, contributing to our understanding of plant photosynthesis and leaf development.
