Electron microscopy of bundle sheath (BS)/Kranz-like cells (KLCs)/Kranz cells (KCs) and mesophyll (M) chlorenchyma cells in leaves of three Salsola species and Rhaphidophyton regelii: S. abrotanoides (A–D), R. regelii (E–H), S. deschaseauxiana (I–L), and S. oppositifolia (M–P). (A, E, I, M) Micrographs show M and BS/KLC/KC around vascular bundles. (B, F, J, N) Organelle distribution in BS/KLC/KC at a higher magnification. Note the difference in abundance of organelles in BS/KLC/KC between species, and the numerous mitochondria in KLCs of R. regelii (F) and S. deschaseauxiana (J), and in KCs in S. oppositifolia (N). (C, G, K, O) Chloroplast structure in BS/KLC/KC. (D, H, L, P) Structure of M chloroplasts. Scale bars = 20 μm for (A, I, M); 10 μm for (E,J, M); 5 μm for (N); 1 μm for (F); 0.5 μm for (B–D, G, H, K, L, O, P).
