Description: This book aims to provide a developmental perspective on plant anatomy. It offers fundamental information on plant structure and development for students at the introductory level and serves as a resource material for researchers working in various areas of plant biology including plant physiology, systematics, ecology, developmental genetics, and molecular biology. The book is focused on angiosperm species with some examples from different groups of plants. Chapters start with an introduction to plant cell structure, followed by detailed discussions on the flower, plant reproduction (vegetative and sexual), the development and structure of the embryo—the precursor to the plant body. Further chapters cover essential information on the shoot system, diversity of plant cells and tissues, the structure and development of the stem, leaf, root, and secondary body.
