Antibodies raised to wheat and spinach ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuP2Case) were used to locate the enzyme in hand-cut leaf blade transections of 40 C3 and C4 spp., and 1 crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant by immunofluorescence (using the indirect technique). The sample includes species from 7 plant families, both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. In C3 and CAM species, specific fluorescence is associated with chloroplasts of all leaf chlorenchymatous cells when labeled with anti-RuP2Case, while in species with classical C4 leaf anatomy RuP2Case is located almost exclusively in bundle sheath [Kranz or photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR)] cell chloroplasts. Ten C4 species exhibit various types of non-classical C4 leaf anatomy (Alloteropsis, Aristida, Arundinella, Cyperus, Fimbristylis, Triodia and Salsola types) and, for all but 1 of these types, immunofluorescent labeling of RuP2Case provides the first direct experimental evidence of a cellular compartmentation of photosynthetic C metabolism and of the location of PCR compartments. Leaves of 2 Atriplex C3/C4 hybrid individuals and of Panicum milioides, a putative C3/C4 intermediate, exhibited a C3 antibody labeling response.
