C4 photosynthetic machinery: insights from maize chloroplast proteomics

C4 plants exhibit much higher CO2 assimilation rates than C3 plants. The specialized differentiation of mesophyll cell (M) and bundle sheath cell (BS) type chloroplasts is unique to C4 plants and improves photosynthesis efficiency. Maize (Zea mays) is an important crop and model with C4 photosynthet...
