A Variation of C(4) Leaf Anatomy in Arundinella hirta (Gramineae).
The species Arundinella hirta L. posseses a striking variation of the leaf anatomy that is characteristic of C(4) grasses. In addition to a sheath of large, bright green cells around the vascular bundles, there are strands of large parenchyma cells which appear identical to the bundle sheath cells and which run parallel to the vascular bundles, but which are not associated with any vascular tis...
متن کاملIsoenzymatic Variation in Zea (Gramineae)
An average of 14(7-34) plants each for 61 different collections of Zea (maize and its wild relatives, the teosintes) were studied for 12 enzyme systems coded for by 21 loci. Principal component and cluster analyses based on allele frequencies showed Zea can be divided into two major groups: 1) sect. Luxuriantes, including Z. perennis, Z. diploperennis, and Z. luxurians; and 2) sect. Zea (in par...
متن کاملLeaf Anatomy of Orcuttieae (poaceae: Chloridoideae): More Evidence of C4 Photosynthesis without Kranz Anatomy
C4 photosynthesis without Kranz anatomy (single-cell C4 photosynthesis) occurs in only 0.003% of known species of C4 flowering plants. To add insight into the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, we studied the tribe Orcuttieae (Poaceae: Chloridoideae), which has species that can grow under both aquatic and terrestrial conditions, and utilize single-cell C4 photosynthesis when growing submerged. Car...
متن کاملRe-creation of a Key Step in the Evolutionary Switch from C3 to C4 Leaf Anatomy
The C4 photosynthetic pathway accounts for ∼25% of primary productivity on the planet despite being used by only 3% of species. Because C4 plants are higher yielding than C3 plants, efforts are underway to introduce the C4 pathway into the C3 crop rice. This is an ambitious endeavor; however, the C4 pathway evolved from C3 on multiple independent occasions over the last 30 million years, and st...
متن کاملDistribution of Photosynthetic Enzymes between Mesophyll, Specialized Parenchyma and Bundle Sheath Cells of Arundinella hirta.
Arundinella hirta L. is a C(4) plant having an unusual C(4) leaf anatomy. Besides mesophyll and bundle sheath cells, A. hirta leaves have specialized parenchyma cells which look morphologically like bundle sheath cells but which lack vascular connections and are located between veins, running parallel to them. Activities of phosphoenolpyruvate and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylases and phos...
