Development of Kranz Anatomy
The development of Kranz anatomy occurs in three distinct steps:
- Initiation of procambium
- Specification of bundle sheath and mesophyll cells
- Development of chloroplasts and integration of the C4 cycle
Kranz Anatomy – An Overview
Kranz Anatomy is a distinctive arrangement found in C4 plants, characterized by mesophyll cells forming a ring around the bundle-sheath cells. Kranz Anatomy is found in angiosperms like sugarcane and grasses which undergo C4 photosynthesis. Plants growing in warm tropical or arid environments have developed this efficient photosynthetic pathway. Let us discuss Kranz’s anatomy in detail.
