Development of characteristics of the C4syndrome was studied in cotyledons and leaves of NADP‐ME type C4 Salsola richteri, a desert shrub. This species has seeds in which the cotyledons contain chloroplasts, storage proteins, and lipid bodies but no starch. Following imbibition (day 0), tissue types...
