To investigate the influence of the mesophyll cells on stomatal opening in response to white light, the segments of isolated epidermis were transferred on partly exposed mesophyll cells of a leaf and stomatal apertures were measured. Transferring the isolated epidermis on partly exposed mesophyll cells of a leaf caused a marked increase on stomatal apertures while stomata in isolated epidermis incubated in MES buffer hardly opened. Mesophyll infiltration with photosynthetic inhibitors (DCMU, DCCD, $NaN_3$) was performed to elucidate the correlation between stomatal apertures and the degree of photosynthetic activity. It was found that transferring the isolated epidermis on partly exposed mesophyll cells of a leaf caused an increase of stomatal apertures depending on the degree of photosynthetic activities. In $NaN_3$ infiltrated leaf discs, transferring the fresh isolated epidermis on partly exposed mesophyll cells of a leaf showed no significant effect, but a slight increase on stomatal apertures. Isolated epidermis alone did not respond to the light properly, but if it was closely contacted with mesophyil cells, the stomata regained the ability of the light response. Therefore, it could be suggested that stomatai apertures were related with the degree of photosynthetic activity in the mesophyll cells.

콩잎의 광합성능력이 잎의 내부형태 변이와 관련되어 있는지 검토하기 위해 대두품종 ‘Hodg-son 78’을 공시하여 포장실험을 수행하였다. 잎의 내부 형태면이를 촉진시키기 위해 착협시(R3 stage)에 유아주기 (1m이랑당 26주에서 6.5주)와 곁가지 치기를 통해 source활성 증대를, 계속적인 꼬투리 제거 (절위당 한개의 꼬투리만 남김)를 통해 sink활성 감소를 시도하였다. 협신장기(R4 stage)로부터 3-4일 간격으로 5회에 걸쳐 제 10절위 복엽의 중앙소엽을 대상으로 기체교환특성, 잎의 두께, 엽육세포의 체적 및 표면적, 그리고 주변 미기상변수를 측정하였다. 가설검증을 위해 기존의 광합성모형을 엽육세포의 표면적이 기체확산과, 엽육세포의 체적이 생화학적 활성과 관련되도록 수정하였다. 실측 광합성속도의 변이가운데 79%는 이 수정된 모형에 의해 설명 가능하였으며, 엽내부형태의 영향을 무시한 기존의 광합성모형에 비해 평균 14.5%의 추정능력 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

To obtain a basic information on the development of Genus Viola, ultrastructure and electrofusion process between the two protoplasts from wild Viola callus cells and pansy mesophyll cells were observed with a scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). In the ultrastructural observation of wild viola callus protoplasts and pansy mesophyll protoplasts using SEM, their cell walls were removed completely. A knob-like formation was observed on the enlarge surface of viola callus protoplasts. On the surface of pansy mesophyll protoplasts net-like chloroplasts were observed. In SEM observation of pansy mesophyll protoplasts, chloroplasts devoid of membrane were observed on the surface the protoplasts. Pearl chain was formed by applying AC field of 200 V/cm at 1.0 MHz for 43 sec. The lysis of plasma membranes and fusion process occurred by applying a 1,600 V/cm DC pulse twice for 1 sec. After 1-2 hours of a DC pulse application, it was observed that the two protoplasts were fused completely into one cell. In TEM observation of the fused cell, many small vacuoles were located in the fusion area of the two protoplasts. Indeed, two distinct regions were observed during fusing process; in one region, a nucleus was found, while in the other region, both nucleus and nucleous were found.

철이온이 Arabidopsis thaliana의 mesophyll protoplasts 배양에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 mesophyll protoplasts를 분리한 후 변형시킨 IMH 배지에 서로 다른 농도의 Fe-EDTA를 조성하여 배양하는 동안 나타나는 현상들을 관찰하였다. 세포분열률, 미세캘러스의 생장 및 첫번째 세포분열의 시기 등이 Fe-EDTA 농도에 따라 현저히 달라짐을 확인하였다. 대조군에서는 전혀 세포분열이 관찰되지 않았으며, 0.02 mM 미만의 저농도에서는 세포분열률이 낮았다. 0.5-1 mM에서 가장 빠른 세포분열과 높은 분열률을 보였으며 미세캘러스의 형성과 생장도 가장 빨랐다. 낮은 농도(0-0.25 mM)의 Fe-EDTA가 첨가된 배지에서는 농도의 증가와 비례하여 분열률이 높아졌고, 첫 세포분열의 시기와 미세캘러스의 생장 또한 농도의 증가에 비례하여 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이러한 현상은 1 mM에서최고치를 보인 후 그 이상의 농도에서는 농도의 배가에 따라 효율이 현저히 감소되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 엽육세포 원형질체의 세포분열 및 미세캘러스의 생장이 최대로 나타났던 0.5-1 mM 철이온 농도는 현재 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 배지들에 비해 5-10배의 높은 농도이다.

Protoplasts of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer and Aralia continentalis K. (Araliaceae) were isolated from callus cells and mesophyll cells, respectively. The maximum yield of protoplasts isolated from callus cells of P. ginseng were obtained by incubation for 3 hrs in the enzyme mixture of 0.5% macerozyme, 1.5% cellulase, and 0.5 M mannitol as an osmoticum. In the case of mesophyll cells of A. continentalis, the highest yield of protoplasts were obtained by incubation for 5 hrs in the enzyme mixture of 1% macerozyme, 2% cellulase, and 0.6 M mannitol. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment induced an intergeneric fusion of the protoplasts. The fusion products, that is, heterokaryocytes were obtained by treatment of 50% PEG containing 0.05 M Ca salts.

Immunocytochemistry utilizes the specificity of the antigen-antibody reaction to localize specific antigens in cells or cellular organelles. Here we report the use of monoclonal antibodies, in conjunction with gold-labeled second antibodies to study the ultrastructural localization and tissue distribution of the Mr 98, 000 anionic peroxidase and other wall antigens. The antibody specific for this wall peroxidase, mWP3, labeled mainly the cell wall area. At the tissue level, the Mr 98, 000 peroxidase is located predominantly in the leaf mesophyll, internal coleoptile and sieve elements, but not in the root, as assayed with these procedures. The coleoptile walls were less heavily stained than the walls of leaf mesophyll cells. At the subcellular level, it is localized mainly in intercellular regions of the cell walls. A similar staining pattern was revealed by mWP19, one of anti-$\beta$ glucosidase antibody, though it looked less heavily stained than one with mWP3. In order to serve as a control wall staining using IgM monoclonal antibodies, mWP18 was used. Most of the label is localized over wall regions of cells of the young leaf mesophyll and coleoptile.

Ultrastructural and anatomical features of the leaf were studied in Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer(ginseng). The ginseng leaf poorly developed palisade tissue and the size of mesophyll cell was larger and the chloroplast density was lower than that of Glycine max (soyben). Ginseng chloroplast was filled with highly stacked grana and condensely-arrayed thylakoid, so the stroma space was hardly absorbed. However, ginseng mesophyll tissue and chloroplast array did not reduce light energy entering the mesophyll chloroplast, and the high LHCP/CP ratio of ginseng thylakoid resulted in the absorption of excess photon. It is reasonable to assume that 1O1-photogenearation by excess light energy partially resulted from the anatomical and ultrastructural characteristics of the ginseng leaf.

The lipid composition of thylakoid membranes was compared between mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts of maize. According to mild-denaturing gel electrophoresis, mesophyll thylakoids contained both PS I complex and PS II light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex(LHCP), while those of bundle sheath cells contained mainly PS I complex. The amount of lipids per mg chlorophyll was higher in bundle sheath thylakoids than in mesophyll. The major polar lipid classes were monogalactosyldiacylglycerol(MGDG), digalactosyldiacylglycreol, sulfolipid and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) in both tissues. Linolenic acid(18 : 3), linoleic acid(18 : 2) and palmitic acid(16 : 0) were the main fatty acyl components, with higher ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in bundle sheath thylakoids, suggesting these membranes are more fluid. The most striking difference in lipid composition between the two kinds of tissues was the practical absence of trans- 3-hexadecenoic acid(16 : 1t) in PG of bundle sheath thylakoids. This fatty acid is known to be involved in the association of LHCP as oligomeric form. More than 80% of MGDG molecular species was 18 : 3, 18 : 3, demonstrating that maize is a typical 18 : 3 plant. Therefore, the possibility of the functional relationships between the lamella structure, and thus the distribution of photosystems, and MGDG molecular species was excluded.

The effects of light and $CO_2$ on the electrophysiological characteristics of guard cells in the intact leaf and isolated epidermis have been investigated. Fast hyperpolarization of guard cell apoplastic PD in the intact leaf was recorded reaching up to around 7 mV and 20 mV in response to light and $CO_2$. Whenever the experiments were attempted with isolated epidermis, there was no response to light and $CO_2$. In order to determine the influence of the mesophyll cells, the apoplastic PD of guard cells in isolated epidermis was measured in the presence of the mesophyll supernatant or the control medium. The apoplastic PD in isolated epidermis was hyperpolarized to -7mV, changing from -22mV to -29mV at 40 min. But, when isolated epidermis was incubated with the supernatant from mesophyll cells incubated in the light, the apoplastic PD in isolated epidermis was hyperpolarized to -19 mV, changing from -22 mV to -40.5 mV. $CO_2$ also caused a change of 0.1 to 0.3 pH unit in the intact leaf. However, this change was absent in isolated epidermis. A vibrating probe was used to detect the change in electrical currents at the surface of excised intact leaves and isolated epidermis. The reading of excised intact leaves in the dark was $0.5\muA\;cm^{-2},$ remaining steady until illuminated. Light increased the current on the surface of excised leaves to about $0.8\muA\;cm^{-2},$. However, light had no effect in the current on the surface of isolated epidermis. Apoplastic pH changes across the stomatal complex in response to light and dark were measured both in the intact leaves and isolated epidermis over the same time period using pH micro-electrodes. The guard cell wall of intact leaf was acidified to 2.5 pH unit, falling from pH 7.5 to pH 5.0 in the first 10 min. in the light. At the same time the guard cell wall pH of isolated epidermis fell from pH 7.5 to pH 7.0 at 10 min. The guard cell wall pH of isolated epidermis incubated in the mesophyll supernatant fell from pH 7.6 to pH 6.7 at 10 min. Likewise, It could be imagined that an electrical signal, chemicals and hormones propagated from the mesophyll in response to light and $CO_2$ could control a fast stomatal response.

Chlorophasts are a central structural feature of stomatal guard cells. Guard cell chloroplasts have both photosystems I and II (PS I and II), carry out O2 evoluation , cyclic and noncyclic photophosporylation, and possess the Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes involved in CO2 fixation. These imply that guard cell chloroplasts have a normal photosynthetic carbon reduction pathway just like their mesophyll counterparts, indicating similar fuctional organization of thylakoid membranes in both types of mesophyll and guard cell chloroplasts. It has been, however, found that guard cell chloroplasts have distinctive and comparative properties in their photosynthetic performance. In this article, I review the intrinsic features on the light reaction of and carbon reduction by guard cell chloroplasts.
