Background And Aims: Recent studies have documented numerous morphoanatomical variations for the seed coat in Bromeliaceae. However, the structural diversity and character evolution of the embryo within this family remain largely unexplored. Given the embryo's significance in plant diversification, this research aims to investigate the morphology and key anatomical features of Bromeliaceae embryos, providing insights into character evolution, taxonomic applications, and reproductive biology.

Background And Aims: To better understand C4 evolution in monocots, we characterized C3-C4 intermediate phenotypes in the grass genus Homolepis (subtribe Arthropogoninae).

Methods: Carbon isotope ratio (δ13C), leaf gas exchange, mesophyll (M) to bundle sheath (BS) tissue characteristics, organelle size and numbers in M and BS tissue, and tissue distribution of the P-subunit of glycine decarboxylase (GLDP) were determined for five Homolepis species and the C4 grass Mesosetum loliiforme from a phylogenetic sister clade. We generated a transcriptome-based phylogeny for Homolepis and Mesosetum species to interpret physiological and anatomical patterns in an evolutionary context, and to test for hybridization.

Dense planting of single-cross hybrids contributes to maize yield increase over the past decades. Leaf angle, an important agronomic trait relevant to planting density, plays a fundamental role in light penetration into the canopy and photosynthetic efficiency. Leaf angle is a key parameter of plant architecture in the concept of smart canopy.

Article Synopsis
  • Higher plants are classified into three main photosynthetic groups: C, C, and CAM plants, each potentially having different cell wall thickness (T) impacting CO diffusion.
  • A study using electron microscopy found that mesophyll cell thickness was significantly greater in CAM species compared to C and C species, while contrasting trends in bundle sheath cell thickness were observed between C and C species.
  • The research indicated that outdoor-grown plants had higher cell wall thickness compared to those grown in a controlled environment, aiding in understanding how CO diffusion and leakage vary among different photosynthetic groups.
