| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The organelle arrangement is different between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells, which are two types of photosynthetic cells of C4 plants, and is closely related to metabolic pathways. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism and physiological significance of the organelle arrangement, and obtained the following results. (1)The intracellular arrangement and shape of bundle sheath chloroplasts in gramineous plants were three-dimensionally understood. (2)The three-dimensional changes in the intracellular arrangement and morphology of the mesophyll chloroplasts were revealed. (3)The acquisition step of the aggregation movement of mesophyll chloroplasts during the evolution of C4 plants was clarified. (4)The opposite distribution of Rubisco and starch granule was revealed in the bundle sheath chloroplasts of NAD-ME type C4 plants.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年，C4光合成の基盤となるオルガネラ配置の実態が明らかになってきた。本研究では，今まで我々が取り組んできたC4植物の細胞特異的オルガネラ配置・運動を対象とした解析を行い，光合成細胞におけるオルガネラ配置の分子機構と生理的意義の解明を目指す。本研究を達成することで，代謝機能を支えるオルガネラ配置機構の解明といった作物生理学への貢献と，光合成機能やストレス耐性機能を向上させて作物生産能を改良するための分子基盤を提供できると考えている。
