This chapter provides an overview of the origin and development of crop anatomy as a discipline, and briefly describes modern crop anatomy that focuses on structure-function relation at the cellular level.
This chapter describes in detail the various procedures in plant microtechnique (such as that used to study pollen viability and leaf epidermal layer): (i) preparation of plant tissues for microscopic study; (ii) use of the microscope and related equipment for critical study and interpretation of the materials; and (iii) detailed descriptions of each part.
This chapter focuses on the general anatomical mechanisms for adaptation to drought and waterlogging (hypoxia/anoxia) in plants, citing specific examples pertaining to taxonomically similar crop species (cereals, arid legumes and rice).
This chapter describes plant anatomical modifications for defence against insect pests and pathogens, with emphasis on the role of trichomes in pest and disease resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
