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.
Kranz anatomy refers to a specialized arrangement of cells in certain plant species, particularly in C4 plants. These cells are arranged in concentric layers around the leaf veins and are involved in facilitating the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which helps these plants efficiently capture and use carbon dioxide. This adaptation enhances the plant's ability to thrive in hot and arid environments.

The internal leaf structure of C-4 plants?
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.
