The Anatomy of Plant Organisms is one of the most complex subjects in Biology. It includes a multitude of terms that are extremely difficult to comprehend. The difficulty is objective, as science simply translates nature: Structures that nature has not given a name to must be characterized in order to have a common code of communication among scientists.
However, Plant Anatomy is not only the recording of the structural elements of an organism but much more: Through the study of plant structures, information is extracted about the functions with which each plant organ is charged. Also, the study of plant structures in the light of Biological Evolution can be fascinating.
The book Functional Plant Anatomy attempts to present this specific subject from the above perspectives, avoiding the presentation of a plethora of concepts that hinder understanding. It is a useful book for students and researchers in Plant Biology with particular references to the Agricultural and Ecophysiological component of Plant Anatomy.
