Kranz means wreath in German. Kranz anatomy refers to an arrangement of bundle sheath cells surrounded by mesophyll cells in C4 plants. This arrangement ensures that mesophyll cells are no more than 2-4 cell layers away from the bundle sheath cells. Hence, the transport of C4 cycle metabolites is facilitated via plasmodesmata through these two cell types. Note that Kranz anatomy is not mandatory for C4 cycle.
C-4 plants have a unique leaf anatomy with a specialized cell arrangement called Kranz anatomy. This anatomy involves two types of photosynthetic cells: mesophyll cells that fix carbon dioxide and bundle sheath cells that concentrate carbon dioxide for the Calvin cycle. The separation of these two types of cells helps minimize photorespiration and enhances the efficiency of photosynthesis in varying environmental conditions.
