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.
This book is intended
primarily for medical students and others who do not necessarily intend to
continue the study of botany, but who desire or are obliged to obtain some
elementary knowledge of plants, particularly in relation to general biology. The
book is based on the first portion, which deals mainly with plants, of the
course in Elementary Biology for the Preliminary Examination in Science.
This note covers the following topics:
Plant Cell and Tissue Types such as Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma, Xylem and
Phloem, Interpreting Evolutionary Relationships, The Organism -Building a Plant,Stele.
This lecture note is
targeted to plant scientists who may wish to use tissue culture and produce
transgenic plants at some point in their research careers, but do not
necessarily want to become experts in this area. This note explains the concepts
of plant tissue culture and transformation and provide hands-on experience of
the most common of these techniques in labs and demonstrations of more advanced
or uncommon techniques.
