Download or read book The Biology of Plants written by Terri Grodzicker and published by John Donald. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants are integral to human wellbeing, and many species have been domesticated for over ten thousand years. Evidence of plant scientific investigation and classification can be found in ancient texts from cultures around the world (Chinese, Indian, Greco-Roman, Muslim etc.), while early modern botany can be traced to the late 15th and early 16th centuries in Europe. During the past several decades plant biology has been revolutionized first by molecular biology and then by the genomic era. The model organism Arabidopsis thaliana has proved an invaluable tool for investigation into fundamental processes in plant biology, many of which share commonalities with animal biology. Plant-specific processes from reproduction to immunity and second messengers have also yielded to extensive investigation. With the genomes of more than thirty plant species now available and many more planned in the near future, the impact on our understanding of plant evolution and biology continues to grow. Our increased ability to engineer plant species to a variety of ends may provide novel solutions to ensure adequate and reliable food production and renewable energy even as climate change impacts our environment. The decision to focus the 2012 Symposium on plant science reflects the enormous research progress achieved in recent years, and is intended to provide a broad synthesis of the current state of the field, setting the stage for future discoveries and application. This is the first Symposium in this historic series focused exclusively on the botanical sciences.

Download or read book Botany Plant Identification and Classification written by Edward Ackles and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Botany is the branch of biology associated with the study of plant life. It is also known as plant biology, phytology or plant science. Modern botany is a multidisciplinary subject with inputs from most other areas of science and technology. The topics for research in botany include the study of plant's structure, growth, classification, biochemical processes, primary metabolism, properties, evolutionary relationships, diseases and interaction with the environment. The branches of botany are divided into three groups. Organismal topics focus on groups of plants such as grasses, mosses and algae. Core topics are associated with the study of the classification and description of plant diversity, and the fundamental natural phenomena and processes of plant life. Applied topics study the ways in which plants may be used for economic benefit in forestry, horticulture and agriculture. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of botany. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under this discipline and how such concepts have practical applications. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of this field.

Download or read book Laboratory Manual for Applied Botany written by Karen McMahon and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2001-07-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science education is experiencing a revitalization, as it is recognized that science should be accessible to everyone, not just society’s future scientists. One way to make the study of science more substantive to the non-major is to require a laboratory component for all science courses. The subject of applied botany with its emphasis on the practical aspects of plant science, the authors believe, will be appealing to the non-major as it exemplifies how a basic science can be applied to problem solving. Laboratory Manual for Applied Botany will make students realize that the study of plants is relevant to their lives and that they can participate in the discovery process of science. Although the manual includes much of the basic plant anatomy found in standard botany manuals, it differs in taking a practical approach, examining those plants and plant products that have sustained or affected human society.
