Excerpt from Practical Plant Biology: A Course of Elementary Lectures on the General Morphology and Physiology of Plants
At the outset the use of the microscope is treated, and special consideration is given to microscopic measurement and to the reconstruction of microscopic objects in the solid.
The plants chosen as subjects of study are necessarily limited in number. They have been selected, as fairly representing some of the more important subdivisions of the vegetable kingdom, and as being, at the same time, easy to procure. Attention is directed only to those points of their structure, life, history, and manner of living which are necessary in order that the student should appreciate some of the general principles of morphology, physiology, and evolution.
The lectures deal first with the simpler forms, among which are to be found some of the most important so far as general biology is concerned. They then pass on to the more complicated, and gradually lead the student to some knowledge of the development, structure, and physiology of the higher plants.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the fascinating world of botany designed for medical and science students. The author, an experienced botany professor, provides a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles of plant biology, with a particular focus on the significance of microscopic examination. The text begins with a detailed examination of the microscope and its components, guiding readers in how to use it to observe and understand microscopic plant structures. This foundation leads to an exploration of the physical and chemical properties of cells, including cell walls, cytoplasm, and organelles. The author then delves into the concepts of diffusion, osmosis, and the role of semipermeable membranes in plant cells, explaining how these processes impact plant growth and function. Through clear explanations and illustrative examples, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex interactions occurring within plant cells. The author emphasizes the importance of energy metabolism, photosynthesis, and the role of enzymes in facilitating chemical reactions essential for plant life. The text also explores the genetic basis of plant inheritance and the mechanisms of evolution, situating these concepts within the broader context of biology. Overall, this book offers a rich tapestry of botanical knowledge, providing a solid foundation for students seeking to understand the intricate world of plants and their vital role in the natural world.
