The paper shows that altering the cell cycle of rice bundle sheath cells affects chloroplast occupancy and leaf growth, but does not fully replicate C4 bundle sheath traits.

The paper identifies a window of active chloroplast proliferation in rice and shows functional divergence of chloroplast division regulators compared to Arabidopsis.

This study shows that editing the plasma membrane proton ATPase OSA3 in C3 rice alters bundle sheath cell length and number, mimicking C4 characteristics through acid growth mechanisms.

This study identifies and characterizes 12 RNA modifications in plants from bryophytes to flowering plants using HILIC-MS/MS, revealing their evolutionary patterns and roles in auxin responses.

This study manipulates brassinosteroid signalling in rice to increase chloroplast area in bundle sheath cells, showing cell-specific control can enhance chloroplast compartment size without severe growth effects.
