This report outlines an efficient in situ hybridization method for locating specific mRNAs in tissue cryosections using sulfonated cDNA probes. The method involves chemical modification of DNA probes by insertion of a sulfone radical on cytosine residues, which generates a specific epitope. Sulfonated DNA is then detected by using indirect immunochemical procedure. Alternatively, antibodies conjugated to fluorescein or to alkaline phosphatase were used for mRNA detection. In situ hybridization was developed to study aspects of mesophyll and bundle sheath cell differentiation in maize leaves. Our results indicate that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEP C) mRNA is restricted to mesophyll cells, and the nucleus-encoded mRNA of the small subunit (SSU) ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBP C) is limited to the cytosol of bundle sheath cells. Thus, using in situ hybridization, we have demonstrated that the differential distribution of PEP C and RuBP C proteins in the two cell types also reflects the location of their mRNAs. These data imply either a tissue-specific transcriptional regulation or a selective mRNA degradation.

Post-primordial differentiation events in developing maize leaves produce two photosynthetic cell types (bundle sheath and mesophyll) that are morphologically and biochemically distinct. We have isolated a mutation that disrupts the differentiation of one of these cell types in light-grown leaves. bundle sheath defective 1-mutable 1 (bsd1-m1) is an unstable allele that was induced by transposon mutagenesis. In the bundle sheath cells of bsd1-m1 leaves, chloroplasts differentiate aberrantly and C4 photosynthetic enzymes are absent. The development of mesophyll cells is unaffected. In dark-grown bsd1-m1 seedlings, morphological differentiation of etioplasts is only disrupted in bundle sheath cells but photosynthetic enzyme accumulation patterns are altered in both cell types. These data suggest that, during normal development, the Bsd1 gene directs the morphological differentiation of chloroplasts in a light-independent and bundle sheath cell-specific fashion. In contrast, Bsd1 gene action on photosynthetic gene expression patterns is cell-type independent in the dark (C3 state) but bundle sheath cell-specific in the light (C4 state). Current models hypothesize that C4 photosynthetic differentiation is achieved through a light-induced interaction between bundle sheath and mesophyll cells (J. A. Langdale and T. Nelson (1991) Trends in Genetics 7, 191–196). Based on the data shown in this paper, we propose that induction of the C4 state restricts Bsd1 gene action to bundle sheath cells.

Mature maize leaves exhibit a series of parallel veins that are surrounded by concentric rings of bundle sheath and mesophyll cells. To identify genes that control cellular differentiation patterns in the leaf, we have isolated a group of mutations that specifically disrupt the differentiation of a single cell-type. In bundle sheath defective ( bsd ) mutant plants, bundle sheath cells fail to differentiate yet mesophyll and all other leaf cell-types develop normally. Morphological and functional characterization of specific bsd mutants ( bsd1, bsd2, bsd3, pg14 and g2 ) reveals that they differ in the degree to which bundle sheath cell differentiation is perturbed. Mutant analysis predicts roles for BSD gene products in normal development.
