As a genus, it contains species which show a developmental progression from bundle sheath cells.
2.
As a result, chloroplasts in mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells are specialized for each stage of photosynthesis.
3.
When CO 2 is released in the bundle sheath cells, pyruvate is regenerated, and the cycle continues.
4.
There exists a layer of mesophyll cells that contain small chloroplasts encircling bundle sheath cells that have large chloroplasts necessary for the Calvin cycle.
5.
This transports through an outer mesophyll layer, via a range of organic molecules, to the central bundle sheath cells, where the is released.
6.
PPDK is used in the mesophyll cells ( which are located on the outside of a leaf ) to bundle sheath cells ( which are located inside the cells ).
7.
This is then converted back to pyruvate ( through a malate intermediate ), to release the CO 2 in the deeper layer of bundle sheath cells for carbon fixation by RuBisCO and the Calvin cycle.
8.
Incident light that stimulates a chemical reaction in one leaf, will cause a chain reaction of signals to the entire plant via a type of cell termed a " bundle sheath cell ".
9.
Their vascular bundles are surrounded by two rings of cells; the inner ring, called bundle sheath cells, contains starch-rich chloroplasts lacking grana, which differ from those in mesophyll cells present as the outer ring.

A : Mesophyll Cell B : Chloroplast C : Vascular Tissue D : Bundle Sheath Cell E : Stroma F : Vascular Tissue : provides continuous source of water 1 ) Carbon is fixed to produce oxaloacetate by PEP carboxylase . 2 ) The four carbon molecule then exits the cell and enters the chloroplasts of bundle sheath cells . 3 ) It is then broken down releasing carbon dioxide and producing pyruvate.
