This is a multi-volume work that has been serving the undergraduate and postgraduate students of botany for more than four decades. It has equally been used for several competitive examinations. The book covers the fundamentals of bacteria, mycoplasmas, cyanobacteria, archaebacteria, viruses, fungi, lichens, plant pathology and algae. Over the years, it has earned acclaim as being students’ favourite, as it explains the topics in a very comprehensible language. It has been thoroughly revised to include the newfound knowledge acquired by recent research in botany. The revised edition also comes in a more attractive format for better understanding of the subject. New in this Edition • Improved categorization of bacteria, cyanobacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, viruses and algae in the major groups of organisms. • Modern classification of fungi and algae. • Study of fungal diversity based on the development of molecular methods. • Life cycle of Neurospora, and genetics of Neurospora. • Topics on fungal biotechnology and algal biotechnology explore the molecular methods in which they are exploited by man.

This book begins with a lesson on the nature of botany and the process of classifying plants. It then discusses the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction processes in plants, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant. As students study these topics, they also learn about many different kinds of plants in creation and where they belong in the plant classification system. The activities and projects use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons come alive! They include making a "light hut" in which to grow plants, dissection of a bean seed, growing seeds in plastic bags to watch the germination process, making a leaf skeleton, observing how plants grow towards light, measuring transpiration, forcing bulbs to grow out of season, and forcing pine cones to open and close. We recommend that you spend the entire school year covering this book.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Elementary Botany This book has been prepared for use in schools in which elementary Botany is taught during the last half or last third of the school year. It is believed that a course in Botany which is designed for those who are taking their first lessons in the subject and most of whom will not have opportunity to pursue it farther, ought to afford opportunity for scientific training as well as for obtaining some general information concerning the vegetable kingdom, particularly in relation to the growth and development of plants, their relationships, their uses, etc. Accordingly, directions for practical work, observation, and performing experiments have been offered throughout, but in immediate connection with the paragraphs of the text that pertain to the subject in hand. This has not interrupted the proper symmetry and logical arrangement of the topics that should be included in an elementary course for high schools. The practical work indicated need not and should not be a verification of the text; that, it is true, would be an improvement over mere text-book work, but it lacks the very spirit and essential feature of scientific work. The observation and experimentation must be made to find out the facts in the case. This will afford scientific training and, besides, real knowledge will be gained.

Excerpt from Elementary Botany: Theoretical and Practical, a Text-Book Designed Primarily for Students of Science Classes Connected With the Science and Art Department of the Committee of Council on Education The object of this text-book is as far as possible to give a general idea of the fundamental facts and principles of the science. In many elementary works the greater part of the book is taken up with mere structural details, the Physiology of the Plants being relegated to a short chapter at the end. I have endeavoured, whilst tracing up the growth and development of the plant from the seed, to treat of the functions of each organ at the same time as its description. Through the liberality of the publishers, the book is well supplied with diagrams. It will not do, however, for the student to trust to these alone. No science can be properly studied from mere book-work, and this is especially true of such a science as Botany, which deals with various forms of natural objects. The student is strongly urged from the first to carefully examine specimens. A sharp penknife and a simple lens, which will only cost a few shillings, are all the apparatus required for dissecting and examining most flowers, and the commonest plants around us will well serve the student's purpose. For some parts of the subject - as, for instance, the examination of Cellular Tissues - a microscope is needful. An excellent instrument can be obtained at any of the well-known makers' for about five or six pounds. The student should also especially accustom himself to writing out descriptions of plants according to the model given at the close of the book.
