Question

what do u mean by kranz anatomy

Answer 1

Kranz anatomy. the special structure of leaves in C4 PLANTS (e.g. maize) where the tissue equivalent to the spongy mesophyll cells is clustered in a ring around the leaf veins, outside the bundle-sheath cells. (The term 'Kranz' means wreath or ring in German).

Answer 2

In C4 grasses such as maize and some C4dicots, enlarged bundle sheath (BS) cells surround the veins (V) and the BS cells arethen surrounded by mesophyll (M) cells. Each pair of veins is thus separated by two BS and two M cells in a V-BS-M-M-BS-V pattern referred to as Kranz anatomy.
