Cover Illustration: Confocal optical section of a living chlorenchyma cell (stained with the nucleic acid stain acridine orange) of Bienertia cycloptera, which possesses a novel mechanism for C₄ photosynthesis. Enzymes and organelles are partitioned into two separate compartments within a single chlorenchyma cell. The nucleus (green) is juxtaposed between a large, central cytoplasmic compartment, densely packed with chloroplasts (red autofluorescence), and a peripheral compartment with uniformly distributed chloroplasts. See Voznesenskaya et al.: Differentiation of cellular and biochemical features of the single-cell C₄ syndrome during leaf development in Bienertia cycloptera (Chenopodiaceae), –1795, in this issue. Photo credit: S. D. X. Chuong. The cover is dedicated to co-author, Vincent Raymond Franceschi (1953-2005), who contributed to the discovery of single-cell C4 photosynthesis.
