Description
From this modern and profusely illustrated book, the reader will learn not just the basics, which are amply reviewed, but also how plant
anatomy is integrated with a wide variety of other disciplines, such as plant breeding, forensic analysis, medicine, food science, wood
and fiber products, and the arts. The author presents the basic concepts and terminology of plant anatomy with a special emphasis on
its significance and applications to other disciplines, and addresses the central role of anatomy by consolidating previously scattered
information into a single volume.
Integrative Plant Anatomy highlights the important contribution made by studying anatomy
to the solutions of a number of present and future problems. It succeeds in integrating diverse areas of botany, as well as the non-biological
sciences, the arts, and numerous other fields of human endeavor.
Audience:
Professional botanists, academics, and agricultural and forestry professionals.
