Synopsis

Botany: A Lab Manual, Seventh Edition is mapped to match Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology, Seventh Edition but is the perfect companion for any botany course. Packed with hands-on activities, it engages students and broadens their understanding of plant biology. Now in full color and a convenient lay-flat format, it provides detailed examination of plant structure, plant groups, genetics, classification, and more. Featuring additional case studies and image labeling activities, Botany: A Lab Manual is the clear choice for students digging into this exciting science. Goals for each lab are presented clearly Step-by-step activities to record findings and sketch observations Compare and Contrast questions encourage analysis of results Case Studies promote critical thinking while in the lab setting Full-color Image Labeling exercises for plant anatomy Study Guide questions are offered post-lab to reinforce key points and concepts learned © 2021 | 264 pages

About the Author

James MausethThe University of Texas at Austin, Section of Integrative BiologyEducation:B.S., University of Washington at Seattle, 1970' 'Ph.D., University of Washington at Seattle, 1975Research:Research in his lab centers on evolution of morphogenic mechanisms and structure. They use cacti as model organisms because the family contains a great amount of structural/developmental diversity and because the cactus genus Pekeskia retains numerous relictual characters. Plants of Pereskia have hard woody stems and ordinary large leaves. From ancestors like this, morphogenic mechanisms have evolved into ones capable of controlling the differentiation of various types of highly modified wood, unusual types of cortex that have leaf-like features, and apical meristems that minimize the number of mitoses necessary to produce large plants. Because each evolutionary line in the family has undergone particular types of modification of the morphogenic mechanism, they can compare different types of differentiation of a particular tissue, each type controlled by homologous morphogenic mechanisms.
