Diversity of Archegoniates

With great pleasure and satisfaction we are presenting the first edition of Text book on Diversity of Archegoniates of F.Y.B.Sc. Botany in the hands of students & teachers of North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. As per new revised syllabus we tried our level best to give the matter in more illustrative and simplified manner. Relevant questions are also given at the end of each unit. As per the syllabus no book so far provides all the information collectively and properly, therefore the present text book has been designed accordingly in order to meet all the requirements of the F.Y.B.Sc.Students.

We acknowledge with gratitude the kind of help and encouragement that received from our colleagues and friends

We are greatly indebted to different authors whose well known books and research paper were essential as a reference while writing this book. The present book has been thoroughly revised in order to keep no errors or typographic mistakes. Any suggestions for the improvements of the book will be thankfully acknowledged and as far as possible followed by the authors. We are thankful to Shri. Rangrao Patil and his staff of Prashant Publications, Jalgaon for bringing out this book quite in time. We take this opportunity to thank our readers for their encouraging response to our previous text books of Botany.
