Botany is a branch of biology dealing with the study of plants. It is regarded as a biology field and life science within that biology. Botany has two main branches of inquiry, taxonomy and morphology. Taxonomy is the identification, naming and classification of plants, fungi, and bacteria and their localization, ecology, and distribution. Morphology is concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts.
It includes all aspects of plant life, from the study of their structure and function to their interaction with other organisms.
Botany also encompasses the study of how these organisms are used for food, medicine, and industry and how they interact with humans in a cultural context. What can I do in botany? You can work on research projects that involve studying plants or working with them in gardens or greenhouses. You may want to work on whole plant studies where you grow seeds over many years to learn more about the genetics involved in reproduction (e.g., flowering time).
Introduction The rainforests are one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth. The nonliving aspects of rainforests, known as abiotic factors of rainforests, are essential in forming these habitats and promoting their remarkable biodiversity. Rainforests are the epitome of biodiversity. … Read more
Determination of Moisture content in the soil, often referred to as soil analysis or soil moisture testing, is a process that quantifies the amount of water in the soil. This analysis is essential in understanding soil behavior and its suitability … Read more
In this article, we will discuss the thallus organisation in algae. A wide range of thalli is found in algae, particularly in the vegetative plant body. These diverse forms exhibit a definite spectrum. On one end, there are simple plants … Read more
Angiosperms and gymnosperms are two types of seed-bearing plants that exhibit several similarities. This resemblance can be attributed to the fact that gymnosperms existed for approximately 200 million years before the evolution of angiosperms. Angiosperms contain or bear closed seeds … Read more
The root apical meristem is a type of meristem located at the tip of a root. It is responsible for the growth of the root in length and the formation of lateral roots. The meristem consists of undifferentiated cells that … Read more
Introduction: Ecology studies the interactions between organisms and their physical and biotic environment. The physical environment can be built (i.e., created by people) or it can be natural (i.e., trees, rivers, etc.). The physical environment includes land, air, water, plants … Read more
