Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An extensive chloroplast reticulum is present in the lower epidermis and sub-epidermis of the leaf of Nymphoides indica. It causes distortion of the chloroplast margin, and may appear in the form of vesicles or a complex tubular network. Previous reports of chloroplast peripheral reticulum have suggested a relationship with the C4-dicarboxylic acid pathway of photosynthesis. N. indica has the recognised characteristics of a C3 plant.
