This encyclopedia offers access to the diversity of ferns and seed plants, the most important groups of green land plants. Available information of general and systematic relevance is synthesized at the level of families. Evidence from virtually all disciplines important to modern taxonomy makes the work a most valuable source of reference not only for taxonomists, but for all who are interested in the various aspects of plant diversity. A revised classification includes a complete inventory of genera along with their diagnostic features, keys for identification, and references to the literature. The first volume deals with pteridophytes and gymnosperms.

This book constitutes a unique, encyclopedic reference work that systematizes and categorizes for the first time in such comprehensive fashion all known fern spores. The dominant feature of the work are the over 350 plates of electron micrographs showing the morphological characteristics of typical representatives of each spore type. The purpose of the book is to provide a complete survey of the available data on the fine structure and composition, development, and evolu- tionary significance of different types of spore walls, which have proven resistant to fossilization throughout geological ages. The classification system developed by the authors as the result of many years of research will be a point of reference, if not "the" systematic basis, for all future publication on the subject. The book will be of great interest to all botanists and evolutionary biologists working with spores and/or ferns, but it will also be of major importance to paleobotanists, palynologists, stratigraphers, and exploration geologists, since the focus of this treatise is on spores as highly adapted and longlived reproductive forms.

The book covers the entire course on archegoniate plants which is prescribed in the syllabi of different universities for undergraduate students. The presentation is comprehensive and innovative. The book describes different divisions of plant kingdom related to archegoniate plants covering their life cycle, relationship, classification and economic importance. Details of different genera in terms of morphology, anatomy, reproduction and sexuality have been explained with due diagrams. The book also discusses topics like heterospory, seed habit, leaf phylogeny, stellar system, alternation of generations, regeneration in general and special role of germ cells—egg and spore—in life cycle. Experimental studies described in the book highlight the phenomena of apogamy and apospory, their occurrence, induction and alternate role in life cycle. Also given are accounts on micropropagation of gymnosperms and ferns, for commerce and industry. Key Features • Covers Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms • Loaded with up-to-date information gathered through research results • Supports description through explicit diagrams for clear understanding • Short and to-the-point description so as to cover the entire syllabus within a semester

Botany is a subfield of biology that focuses on the study of plant life and growth from a scientific standpoint. It is an expansive scientific field that studies a wide range of topics related to plants i.e.algae, fungi, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperm etc. These topics include growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, illnesses, chemical qualities, and the evolutionary links between the many groups of organisms. Botany is one of the oldest disciplines, and its origins may be traced back to early human efforts to identify which plants were safe to eat, which were useful for medicine, and which were harmful to humans. The study of botany has expanded to include more than 550000 species at this point in time. This significance may be seen via a variety of lenses, such as the influence that it has on farming, medicine, and efforts to preserve the natural world. The use of botany in agricultural settings is among its most significant uses. Research in botany has resulted in the creation of new and better crop types that are more resistant to invasive organisms, infectious illnesses, and the effects of environmental stress. This has significantly contributed to an increase in global food security as well as a reduction in poverty in a number of developing nations.
