Download or read book Botany Taxonomy Of Angiosperms Biosystem written by Dr. Vatsala Tomar and published by AG PUBLISHING HOUSE (AGPH Books). This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for all levels of botanists and students taking a local flora course. For the reason that the botany is a larger subject, the book's scope is limited to angiosperms and plant bio-systems. It is intended to provide sufficient information to enable an understanding of plant taxonomy, comprehension of various contemporary classification systems, comprehension of fundamental principles of plant nomenclature, and appreciation of the mechanics of plant identification, including the preparation and preservation of herbarium specimens. Taxonomy is a difficult topic. It is, nevertheless, founded on knowledge and comprehension of plant morphology and anatomy, cytology, genetics, paleontology, and plant geography. This book is meant to let non-taxonomists utilize a handbook or flora that accounts for the plants in any place. A reader, on the other hand, would find this book highly useful in learning topics such as taxonomic hierarchy and Linnaeus classification. The process of plant nomenclature, herbarium preparation and maintenance are also included. This not only focus on biological processes but, also the standardizing authority such as ICBN, are explored in detail, and the book is presented in such a way that understanding the ideas in the material requires little effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxonomy is one of the oldest biological disciplines. This book presents an account of general principles and aims of taxonomy in a comprehensive manner. It has been written mainly to cater the needs of undergraduate students pursuing courses in Botany/Life Sciences/Plant Sciences, but it will be useful for postgraduate students of these disciplines as well. The book gives a critical account of the important systems of classification and salient features of the APG II (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2003) system of plant taxonomy. It mentions the important rules of plant nomenclature, and various codes of nomenclature including the latest Vienna Code of 2006. Further, it discusses the usefulness of anatomy, embryology, palynology, chemistry, cytology and ecology under current trends in plant taxonomy. A thorough coverage of profusely illustrated 50 important dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous angiospermic families is the hallmark of this book. Each family is described covering the following points: Distribution, vegetative features, floral description, morphological nature of organs, further classification, affinities with other families, economic importance and description of common plant(s). Finally, the book covers the different aspects and theories related to the origin of angiosperms, and elucidates the methods and techniques of herbarium development and maintenance. KEY FEATURES: Presents a key to families described in the book. Provides a pro forma for the description of angiosperms. Includes a glossary of important technical terms. Lists the important Herbaria of India and the world.

This book was released on 2023-01-04 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant taxonomists seek to learn as much as they can about the earth's plant knowledge and gather them into systematic plants. Due to the vastness of Earth's vegetation, knowledge cannot be gathered without first being organised. To begin, we must take an exhaustive tally of all plant life in a given region and, eventually, the whole planet. The initial step in taxonomy is the gathering and preparation of herbarium specimens for future research. Identification is the next step, and it requires identification descriptions, drawing pictures, and creating keys. Taxonomy's main aim is to accurately identify all plant plants, and its secondary goal is to order them according to a universally agreed categorization system. The process of identification entails deciding whether or not a taxon (plural taxa) is the same as or closely related to a previously known taxon. A plant may only be properly identified if it is placed in the correct taxonomic family, and only then can it be properly classified as a species. This may be done with the aid of Floras, monographs, and herbaria, all of which are now in circulation. A plant is considered to be a new species when all attempts to identify it as a member of an existing species have been fruitless. Assembling plants into taxonomic groups based on their shared characteristics is known as classification. The result is a well-thought-out classification system in which any number of species may be placed in any given category. Strongly linked groups are grouped together in accordance with the principles underlying any current system of classification, which are based on their genetic link.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern angiosperm taxonomy or systematics provides a strong foundation for the progress of biological sciences as it incorporates studies on biosystematics, chemical and serological evidences, numerical taxonomy, cytogenetical and ecological evidences and many others. This book accounts for information on classical and fundamental aspects of taxonomy as well as its recent developments. Special attention has been paid to the chapters on origin of Angiosperms, Theory of Evolution and Evolutionary trends in Angiosperm Flowers. The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, Important herbaria, Techniques for the preparation, storage and study of herbarium specimens, Botanical gardens, and Taxonomic literature are discussed in detail and includes the study of some selected families belonging to 21 orders. For each family, general features and evidence from anatomical, embryological, chromosome numbers and phytochemical data have been added and evolutionary trends discussed. Attention has also been drawn to economic importance and geographical distribution of these families. Illustrations for some members of these families have also been added.
