Description
This fundamental guide to understanding plant structure offers plant scientists, plant biologists and horticulturalists in practice, academic life and in training a combination of concise scientific text and superb colour photographs and drawings. It is designed as a tool for teaching and revision at undergraduate and graduate levels, as a complement to traditional textbooks and as a general reference for professionals and researchers. The book deals with the development and mature form of plants, focusing on structure at anatomical, histological and fine structure levels. Appropriate emphasis is given to plants of economic importance.
