More About the Book
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 eg. leaves as
insectivorous traps; spines in cacti, desert
plants adapted for water storage, saltmarsh
and aquatic plants; a new section on asexual
plant multiplication; additional bibliography
and website resources.
Plant Structure - A Colour Guide is designed
as a tool for teaching and revision at
undergraduate and graduate levels, as a
complement to traditional textbooks for
professionals and researchers, and as a
general reference for non-specialists.
