Germination of dimorphic seeds of the desert annual halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica (Chenopodiaceae), a C4 plant without Kranz anatomy. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2008 Suaeda aralocaspica is a C4 summer annual halophyte without Kranz anatomy that is restricted to the deserts of central Asia. It produces two distinct types of seeds that differ in colour, shape and size. The primary aims of the present study were to compare the dormancy and germination characteristics of dimorphic seeds of S.

Regulatory gateways for cell-specific gene expression in C4leaves with Kranz anatomy [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016 C4 photosynthesis is a carbon-concentrating mechanism that increases delivery of carbon dioxide to RuBisCO and as a consequence reduces photorespiration. The C4 pathway is therefore beneficial in environments that promote high photorespiration. This pathway has evolved many times, and involves restricting gene expression to either mesophyll or bundle ...

Combining the small South American genus Androtrichum into Cyperus (Cyperaceae) [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – Molecular phylogenetic studies have provided a clearer understanding of the complex relationships within the family Cyperaceae. These studies have consistently shown that 12 allied genera are nested in the genus Cyperus.

Proof of C4 photosynthesis without Kranz anatomy in Bienertia cycloptera (Chenopodiaceae) [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2002 SummaryKranz anatomy, with its separation of elements of the C4 pathway between two cells, has been an accepted criterion for function of C4 photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. However, Bienertia cycloptera (Chenopodiaceae), which grows in salty depressions of Central Asian semi‐deserts, has unusual chlorenchyma, lacks Kranz anatomy, but has ...

Leaf anatomy of the South African Danthonieae (Poaceae). IX Asthenatherum glaucum
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1984 The leaf blade anatomy of Asthenatherum glaucum (Nees) Nevski was studied. Detailed descriptions of the leaf section and abaxial epidermis are given and illustrated by means of photomicrographs. The leaf anatomy of all specimens is undoubtedly Kranz with

C4 photosynthesis with Kranz anatomy evolved in the Oryza coarctata Roxb [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract The C4 cycle is a complex biochemical pathway that has been evolved in plants to deal with the adverse environmental conditions. Mostly C4 plants grow in arid, water-logged area or poor nutrient habitats. Wild species, Oryza coarctata (genome type KKLL; chromosome number ...

C4 photosynthesis and transition of Kranz anatomy in cotyledons and leaves of Tetraena simplex [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2018 Premise of the StudyTetraena simplex is an independently evolved C4 species in the Zygophylloideae (Zygophyllaceae) and a characteristic forb of saline flats in hot and sandy desert habitats. During early ontogeny, the species had a morphological shift from planar cotyledons (dorsiventral symmetry) to terete, succulent leaves (radial symmetry).
