Summary
"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 unique in its presentation of plant anatomy at the macro, microscopic and sub-microscopic levels." "Key elements of the revised book include recent findings (supplemented by DNA analysis) on the classification of flowering plants and current concepts of plant-wall structure. There are detailed descriptions of leaves as insectivorous traps, spines in cacti, desert plants adapted for water storage, and saltmarsh and aquatic plants. There is also a new section on asexual plant multiplication and additional bibliography and website resources." "Plant Structure - A Colour Guide is designed as a tool for teaching and revision at under-graduate and graduate levels, as a complement to traditional textbooks for professionals and researchers, and as a general reference for non-specialists."--BOOK JACKET.
