Developmental plant anatomy is a branch of plant science that focuses on the study of the internal structure and organization of plants as they develop and grow. It explores the cellular and tissue-level changes that occur throughout the life cycle of a plant, from seed germination to maturity. This field of study is crucial for understanding how plants develop various structures, such as roots, stems, leaves, and reproductive organs, and how these structures contribute to overall plant function and adaptation to the environment. Plant anatomy is the study of the tissue and cell structure of plant organs. The term anatomy, as applied to plants, generally deals with structures that are observed under a high=powered light microscope or electron microscope. The study of developmental plant anatomy involves examining the formation and organization of tissues and organs. Differentiated cells organize into tissues such as epidermis, parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma, contributing to the structure and function of roots, stems, and leaves. Developmental plant anatomy is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field that contributes significantly to our understanding of how plants grow and adapt to their environment. The knowledge gained from this field has practical applications in agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology, making it a crucial aspect of plant science research. Plant anatomy and tissues study are instrumental in diagnosing plant diseases. Abnormalities in tissue structure, discolorations, or malformations can indicate the presence of pathogens, nutritional deficiencies, or other stress factors. Plant pathologists use microscopic examinations of tissues to identify and understand the causes of plant diseases, aiding in the development of effective control measures. The main aim of this book is to provide a developmental perspective to plant anatomy. The book is focused on angiosperm species with some examples from different groups of plants.
