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.

The paper develops Chloro-Count, a deep learning tool, to quantify chloroplast occupancy in rice bundle sheath cells and shows that OsHAP3H loss increases chloroplast numbers by 50%.
