Abstract

Uptake of35S-sulphate by bundle sheath strands (BSC) from leaves of maize plants (Zea mays L. ev. Dekalb L 72 A) was higher than that by isolated mesophyll protoplasts (MC) of maize. Ion uptake followed the Michaelis-Menten kinetic satuiation curves. SO2 4-uptake increased after addition of malate, NADPH, malate + NADP+ to BSC suspensions, but not to MC susp: nsions.
