Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of Green Plants, first published in 2000, is the astonishing diversity of forms found in the plant kingdom, from the simplicity of prokaryotic algae to the myriad complexities of flowering plants. The book is arranged according to generally accepted classification schemes, beginning with algae (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) and moving through mosses, liverworts, fern allies, ferns and gymnosperms to flowering plants. Copiously illustrated throughout, it provides a concise account of all algae and land plants, with information on topics from cellular structure to life cycles and reproduction. The authors maintain a refreshingly cautious approach in discussions of possible phylogenetic relationships and include newly emerging information on features of plants known only as fossils. This edition has been completely updated to reflect current views on the origin of the major groups of plants, providing a resource for students of botany, and for researchers needing a comprehensive reference to the plant kingdom.

Download or read book The Diversity and Evolution of Plants written by Lorentz C. Pearson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting new textbook examines the concepts of evolution as the underlying cause of the rich diversity of life on earth-and our danger of losing that rich diversity. Written as a college textbook, The Diversity and Evolution of Plants introduces the great variety of life during past ages, manifested by the fossil record, using a new natural classification system. It begins in the Proterozoic Era, when bacteria and bluegreen algae first appeared, and continues through the explosions of new marine forms in the Helikian and Hadrynian Periods, land plants in the Devonian, and flowering plants in the Cretaceous. Following an introduction, the three subkingdoms of plants are discussed. Each chapter covers one of the eleven divisions of plants and begins with an interesting vignette of a plant typical of that division. A section on each of the classes within the division follows. Each section describes where the groups of plants are found and their distinguishing features. Discussions in each section include phylogeny and classification, general morphology, and physiology, ecological significance, economic uses, and potential for research. Suggested readings and student exercises are found at the end of each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green Plants is a totally revised edition of the earlier Diversity of Green Plants by P. R. Bell and C. L. F. Woodcock. This new revision documents the latest information about the most exciting advances in the relevant fields of botanical science. The theme of the book is the remarkable diversity of form which has followed from the phenomenon of photosynthesis and the fixation of atmospheric carbon. The author's detailed treatment spans the full scope of the plant kingdom, extending from the simplest unicellular organisms to the complexity represented by the flowering plants. Information on the essential features of plants known only from the fossil record is also included. This complete and compact survey of all green plants will provide a tremendous resource for all students of botany.

Book excerpt: Today's plants are descended from simple algaes that first emerged more than 500 million years ago, and now there are around 400,000 species. The huge diversity of forms that that these plants take is staggering. From towering redwoods, to diminutive mosses; from plants that developed stinging hairs and poisons, to those that require fire to germinate tor ocean currents to dsitribute their seeds. But how have we arrived at this mind-blowing variety in the plant kingdom? How Plants Work seeks to answer this intriguing question, drawing from a wide range of examples--from the everyday leaf to the most bizarre flowers--this book is a fascinating enquiry into, and celebration of, the rich complexity of plant life.
