Miêu tả
Tóm tắt:This book first discusses the significance of anatomy in modern plant science followed by an outline of the basic anatomical structures of angiosperms to give readers a basic idea about plant anatomy. In the second section, structural anatomy of major crop plants has been discussed in detail with an objective to delineate the significance of variations in the anatomical features under different environments. These are followed by two sections, one emphasizing the role of anatomy in adaptation of crop plants and the other on signifying impact of the variations in structural anatomy on crop productivity, both of which are very important for increasing agricultural productivity. Throughout the book we also show how simple, low-cost light microscopy of hand sections can be used for rapid identification of anatomical features and be used for selection of genotypes under different environments, along with citing examples from research publications for further justification. Almost all the anatomical figures presented in the book have been prepared from live samples by the authors using simple light microscopy and low cost digital cameras, which is expected to encourage students and new researchers in the field of agricultural science to explore the tremendous possibility of utilizing anatomical techniques in their research fields. Training on anatomy is mainly undertaken only by laboratory practice. On such practice the authors believe emphasis must be given not only on lectures and text study, but also on extensive practical training. For laboratory teaching the present book should provide a background of facts, terms and history; it may, indeed, be used, in part, as a laboratory guide. The sequence of subjects adopted mainly on the long experience of the first author is giving emphasis of possible application of anatomical traits for adaptation of the particular crop to biotic and abiotic stress factors.
