This book explains the following topics:The Circumnutating Movements Of
Seedling Plants, General Considerations On The Movements And Growth Of Seedling
Plants, Sensitiveness Of The Apex Of The Radicle To Contact And To Other
Irritants, The Circumnutating Movements Of The Several Parts Of Mature Plants,
Modified Circumnutation: Climbing Plants, Epinastic And Hyponastic Movements,

Objective of this book is to provide light micrographs of the types
of cells and tissues that students typically examine in a plant anatomy course.
All micrographs are accompanied by figure legends to help the viewer interpret
and understand the structures presented. Each chapter in this web site consists
of numerous pages, each with a micrograph and an explanatory text.
