Kranz anatomy is a distinctive structural adaptation found in the leaves of C4 plants such as maize, sugarcane, sorghum, and many tropical grasses. The term “Kranz” is derived from a German word meaning “wreath,” which describes the concentric arrangement of tissues around the vascular bundles. In this type of anatomy, the vascular bundles are surrounded by a prominent layer of large, thick-walled bundle sheath cells, which in turn are encircled by mesophyll cells. This specialized organization is closely associated with the C4 pathway of photosynthesis and plays a crucial role in improving photosynthetic efficiency. In leaves with Kranz anatomy, mesophyll cells are arranged loosely with intercellular spaces and contain chloroplasts that are usually granal, supporting light reactions and the initial fixation of carbon dioxide. Surrounding the vascular bundles, the bundle sheath cells
