Summary:
"This unique dictionary is an authoritative and up-to-date reference book on all aspects of the study of plants. Drawing on the information contained in the acclaimed Oxford Dictionary of Natural History, the text has been fully revised for this new edition, with over 5,500 clear and concise entries. A Dictionary of Plant Sciences offers wide coverage of biochemistry, plant physiology, cytology, ecology, genetics, evolution, biogeography, earth history, and the earth sciences. Devoting one-third of its entries to taxa, this book provides world-wide coverage of taxonomic groups - from bacteria and fungi to the main groups of flowering and non-flowering plants - and takes full account of recent taxonomical revisions. Many new entries have also been added from the field of molecular biology." "A Dictionary of Plant Sciences is perfect for amateur botanists and anyone interested in the world around us."--Jacket.
