Zea diploperennis<span> is a wild relative of maize that is endemic to the Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. Because this species is a priority for conservation in the reserve, the effects on its populations of the most common types of anthropogenic disturbance – slash-and-burn, and slash without subsequent burning – were investigated in three populations for 5 years</span>
The palisade cells are the main site of photosynthesis, as they have many more chloroplasts than spongy mesophyll, and also have several adaptations to maximizes photosynthesis efficiency. Large Vacuole restricts chloroplasts to a later near outside of the cell where they can be reached by light more easily.
