This book will add to the scientific knowledge of the readers on the
molecular aspects of plants. This book will help to strengthen the scientific
background of the readers on plants and deliver the message regarding plants for
the future, in food security, health, industry, and other areas.
This book
explains more about neem trees and the many uses for their fruits and leaves.
The purpose of this book is to marshal the various facts about neem, to help
illuminate its future promise, and to speed realization of its potential.
Photosynthesis is one of the
most important reactions on Earth. It is a scientific field that is the topic of
many research groups. This book is aimed at providing the fundamental aspects of
photosynthesis, and the results collected from different research groups.
This book, explains the synthesis of information
for developing strategies to combat plant stress. The information covered in
this book would bridge the much-researched area of stress in plants with the
much-needed information for evolving climate-ready crop cultivars to ensure food
security in the future.
This book is designed to furnish classes
in our schools and colleges with a suitable text book of Structural and
Physiological Botany, as well as private students with a convenient introductory
manual, adapted to the present condition of the science.
This book is
the result of several years 1 experience of the authors with the Intermediate
classes. A lot of time is usually wasted in giving instructions and notes to the
students as to the procedure of the day's work. The authors feel that this
humble attempt at systematizing the practical work of Intermediate classes, will
go a long way to remove this difficulty.
This structural work
has been supplemented by so much classification as will serve to make clear the
relationships of different groups, and the principles upon which the
classification is based, as well as enable the student to recognize the commoner
types of the different groups as they are met with. The aim of this book is not,
however, merely the identification of plants.
Gleaning edible plants from herbals, botanies, travel books, cultural
histories, and experiments in scientific farming, Edward Lewis Sturtevant
(1842-1898) complied notes for the largest and most accurate work on edible
plants, cultigents, and secondary food sources ever written. 2,897 species with
comments from over 560 ancient and modern sources virtually cover the entire
field. The range is from the oldest known foods, the mallow and asphodel,
through newcomers like the tomato and celery, to wild foods which become
important under certain circumstances.
When in 1874, the first edition of Fenner's Complete Formulary (then a
small pamphlet) was issued it was the pioneer in a new field of pharmacy, and
furnished the first reliable line of formulas for elixirs and the so-called
Elegant Preparations which were then coming rapidly into use.
