Question
Chapter 31.4, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The process by which Browning and Gunning prevent photosynthesis from occurring in moss sporophytes and reason for preventing photosynthesis.
Introduction:
Specialized placental transfer tissue helps in transfer of nutrition from the mother plant to the embryo plant. And this process is known as matrotrophy. This function of placental transfer tissue was first discovered by Adrian Browning and Brian Gunning by an experiment.

C4-type plants seem more suitable than C3-type plants Since they escape photorespiration. Yet there are only 5% of the 260,000 known plant species that are of type C4.
