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 color photographs and drawings.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. The new and totally revised edition has been expanded by 30% with 194 new photos and diagrams. The original author has been joined by Dr. James Mauseth to create a formidable partnership of teaching and research experience from Europe and North America. Key elements of the revised book include: recent findings (supplemented by DNA analysis) on the classification of flowering plants; current concepts of plant wall structure; detailed description of leaves as insectivorous traps; spines in cacti, desert plants adapted for water storage, saltmarsh and aquatic plants; 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 at undergraduate and graduate levels, as a complement to traditional textbooks for professionals and researchers, and as a general reference for non-specialists.Features• A revised edition of a classic guide to understanding plant structure• Covers anatomy, histology and ultrastructure• Combines concise scientific text with color photos and drawings of the highest quality• Emphasizes plants of economic importance• Value at many levels for teaching, revision, research and reference

Emphasizing natural selection and incorporating the analysis of botanical phenomena and diversity into every subject, the new edition continues to encourage students to participate in biological inquiry. Among the many new pedagogical features are chapter summaries at the beginning of each of the books four sections (plant structure, plant physiology and development; genetics and evolution; and ecology); and boxes which highlight how plants interrelate with human concerns, such as medicine and economics. 9.25x11

Botany, Third Edition: An Introduction to Plant Biology

Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc.

Part of the Jones &amp; Bartlett Learning Special Topics in Biology Series! Plants play a role in the environment, in food, beverage, and drug production, as well as human health. Written for the introductory, non-science major course, Plants and People outlines the practical, economical, and environmental aspects of plants' interaction with humans and the earth. Mauseth provides comprehensive coverage of plants in the environment --global warming, deforestation, biogeography -- as well as the role plants play in food, fiber, and medicine.

Plants and People

This book presents the stories of three avid field biologists who over the course of 15 years frequently traveled together in search of cacti in Bolivia, Peru, and Argentina. The conversational style of this travelogue allows us to share in the authors' excitement as they encounter plants that have rarely, if ever, been written about. Nearly 195 remarkable color photographs accompany the vivid descriptions of unusual cacti growing alongside non-succulent plants, at altitudes of 8000 feet or more-and even in rainforests! A Cactus Odyssey will interest gardeners, travelers, and conservationists from around the world who wish to learn more about these irresistible plants, and it is the hope of the authors that this book will inspire others to undertake their own cactus odyssey.

Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology continues to set the standard for the fundamentals of plant science. No botany text better connects structure to function and does so with higher quality art and imagery. Combining strong scientific grounding with an approachable writing style, Botany teaches and engages. The essentials to a foundational understanding of plant science are all there, including structure, genetics and evolution, physiology and development, and ecology. Now in a modernized sixth edition, the text continues to lead with the latest material on molecular biology, plant biotechnology, and the most recent coverage of taxonomy and phylogeny of plants to keep students on the forefront of cutting-edge botanical research. Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology, Sixth Edition is the clear choice for students digging into this exciting science.

Botany: A Lab Manual, Sixth Edition is the perfect companion to any botany course. Packed with hands-on activities, it engages students and broadens their understanding of plant biology. Now in full color and a convenient lay-flat format, it provides detailed examination of plant structure, plant groups, genetics, classification, and more. Featuring additional case studies and image labeling activities, Botany: A Lab Manual is the clear choice for students digging into this exciting science.
