Taxonomy Of Angiosperms, Plant Community And Plant Physiology

The new syllabus for S. Y. B. Sc. Botany, considering the scope and opportunities for Botany students. This book is strictly written according to the new syllabus of S. Y. B. Sc. Botany, implemented from June, 2014. For the first semester, the students will study ‘Taxonomy of Angiosperms and Plant Community’ in Paper I and ‘Plant Physiology’ in Paper II.

We are pleased to publish this text book for S. Y. B. Sc. Botany students which we believe, will be very useful for both teachers and students. In this semester, Paper I includes topics like, Introduction to Plant Taxonomy, Systems of Classification, Taxonomic Literature, Sources of Data for Systematics, Botanical Nomenclature, Study of Plant Families, Introduction to Plant Ecology, Ecological Grouping of Plants and Computers in Taxonomy. All these topics are well compiled with complete illustrations, figures and examples.
