Download or read book Palynotaxonomical Studies on Selected Indian Endemic Legumes written by Anoop P. Balan and published by Exceller Books. This book was released on with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leguminosae is the third largest family of flowering plants after Asteraceae and Orchidaceae. In India, it is the second largest family after Orchidaceae with more than 1400 species out of which about 23% are strictly confined to the country. In India, the maximum legume diversity and endemism is found in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Even though many reports on palynological data on widely distributed and alien species of Indian Leguminosae are available, only scanty data is available regarding the endemic legumes of India. This book presents the palynological details of 60 Indian endemic legumes so far unknown to science and their role in taxonomic considerations, which may help to improve our knowledge in these areas and to take right decisions whenever taxonomic problems are encountered related to these plants. Each taxon is provided with updated nomenclature, brief description of the plant including pollen morphology, details of habitat, phenology and distribution. Photographs, illustration and distribution map of each species is also provided.

Download or read book The Anatomy of Vegetables Begun written by Nehemiah Grew and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Anatomy of Vegetables Begun: With a General Account of Vegetation founded thereon" by Nehemiah Grew may seem like a purely educational text, but it's a surprisingly fascinating read for anyone who has ever found themselves interested in gardening in the slightest. Written in the 17th century, the book gives a surprisingly accurate overview of botany and what goes into growing vegetables that could even be found useful by modern readers.
Download or read book Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants written by Armen Leonovich Takhtadzhi͡an and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination of more than fifty years of research by the foremost living expert on plant classification, Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants is an important contribution to the field of plant taxonomy. In the last decade, the system of classifying plants has been thoroughly revised. Instead of describing every individual family, Takhtajan includes descriptions in keys to families, which he calls "descriptive keys." The advantage of descriptive keys is that they give both the characteristic features of the families and their differences. The delimitation of families and orders drastically differs from the one accepted by the Englerian school and from the one accepted in Arthur Cronquist's system. Takhtajan favors the smaller, more natural families and orders, which are more coherent and better-defined, where characters are easily grasped, and which are more suitable for information retrieval and phylogenetic studies, including cladistic analysis (because it reduces polymorphic codings).

Download or read book The Plant Diversity of Malesia written by P. Baas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the only publication with a realistic claim to the title "The plant diver sity of Malesia" is Flora Malesiana itself, we have hesitatingly chosen this title for the present proceedings volume. Past, present and future work on the Flora Malesiana project was the subject of a successful symposium held in August 1989. This book contains only a selection of the papers presented at that meet ing, yet it covers a much greater diversity of themes than just the inventory of botanical diversity. It even goes beyond the boundaries of the vast Flora Malesi ana region in several of its chapters. The role of the founder of the Flora Malesiana Project, Professor C.G.G.J. van Steenis, repeatedly recurs in several chapters; not only as director of and contributor to the project, but also as a pioneer in the fields of Malesian vege tation, conservation and biogeography, and as an enlightened systematist whose ideas and practical recommendations for taxonomic delimitation still largely apply. Botanical information made available in regional and local floras is of vital im portance for applications such as the exploitation of natural forests on a sus tainable yield basis. for establishing gene banks for the benefit of agriculture. forestry and horticulture. and not in the least for nature conservation. Several chapters are devoted to these themes. Floristic studies are also at the basis of the biogeographical essays and vegetation studies included in this book.

Download or read book Microspores written by Stephen Blackmore and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of the processes of plant reproduction is increasingly important in the exploitation of plant resources. Microspore formation is a major event in the life cycles of land plants, allowing the transition from diploid sporophyte generation to the haploid gametophyte generation, and varies greatly between taxa in the diversity of processes involved. Despite the wealth of information available, there are very few sources which bring together the results of research work on the reproduction in all the major plant groups.**Microspores fills this gap by reviewing microsporogenesis from a systematic and evolutionary perspective in groups ranging from algae to angiosperms. Special chapters focus on structure, function, cell and molecular processes, and potential biotechnological applications of plant spores and pollen. The result is an up-to-date guide to the applications of modern techniques in the classic area of botany.**This work bridges several disciplines to provide a coherent and authoritative account which will be essential reading for research scientists and lecturers in botany, evolution, ultrastructure, reproductive and developmental biology, and palynology.
