Ha-AS = Haloxylon ammodendron assimilating shoots, Ha-C = Haloxylon ammodendron cotyledons. Wang et al. (2013) identified 48 putative positive Kranz regulators through comparative analysis of Kranz (foliar leaf blade) and non-Kranz (husk leaf sheath) leaves of maize. Forty genes were assigned to 38 Arabidopsis orthologous genes [47]. Fourteen of 38 Arabidopsis transcription factor-encoding genes were also identified in this study, and 11 transcription factors were significantly up-regulated (log2 (Fold change) >1) in H. ammodendron assimilating shoots.
