C₄photosynthesis and transition of Kranz anatomy in cotyledons and leaves ofTetraena simplex

Abstract

Tetraena simplex cotyledons and leaves showed differences in Kranz type, with associated progression in ultrastructural features, and differing activities/expression levels of C enzymes. Furthermore, leaves characterized a new "Tetraena" variation of the kochioid Kranz anatomy.

C4-like photosynthesis and the effects of leaf senescence on C4-like physiology in Sesuvium sesuvioides (Aizoaceae)

“…The ontogenetic development of the C 4 pathway has been studied in few lineages (Muhaidat et al , 2018, and references therein). In monocots, it has been investigated in a number of Cyperaceae and Poaceae species with different leaf types (Nelson, 2011, and references therein).…”

Global distribution, climatic preferences and photosynthesis‐related traits of C4 eudicots and how they differ from those of C4 grasses

“…Merr. ; Ho et al., 2019 ), this trait results in an unmatched leaf and stem anatomical diversity in C 4 eudicots (Bohley et al., 2015 ; Kadereit et al., 2003 ; Muhaidat et al., 2007 , 2018 ; Voznesenskaya et al., 2017 ). Grasses usually show a classical Kranz anatomy (similar to an atriplicoid leaf anatomy), whereas eudicots exhibit a broad variety of succulent and non‐succulent C 4 leaf types in addition to the atriplicoid type (Edwards & Voznesenskaya, 2011 ).…”
