Book Synopsis Baja California Plant Field Guide by : Jon Paul Rebman
Download or read book Baja California Plant Field Guide written by Jon Paul Rebman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baja California Plant Field Guide is a manual to native and naturalized plants of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico. It is a useful guide for the entire Sonoran Desert and for Southern California, as over 50% of the species covered also occur in these regions. Over 715 different plants in 111 plant families are identified (most in both English and Spanish), with both scientific and common names and detailed descriptions. Many species are illustrated with color photographs. Descriptions entail plant habit and height; stem, leaf, flower, and fruit morphology; range; elevation; pollination biology; ethnobotanical uses; and discriminating comparisons with close relatives. This book is intended for everyone from the interested novice to the professional botanist.
Download or read book Herbarium written by Barbara M. Thiers and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treasury like no other Since the 1500s, scientists have documented the plants and fungi that grew around them, organizing the specimens into collections. Known as herbaria, these archives helped give rise to botany as its own scientific endeavor. Herbarium is a fascinating enquiry into this unique field of plant biology, exploring how herbaria emerged and have changed over time, who promoted and contributed to them, and why they remain such an important source of data for their new role: understanding how the world’s flora is changing. Barbara Thiers, director of the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden, also explains how recent innovations that allow us to see things at both the molecular level and on a global scale can be applied to herbaria specimens, helping us address some of the most critical problems facing the world today. At its heart, Herbarium is a compelling reminder of one of humanity’s better impulses: to save things—not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.
Book Synopsis Botanizing; a Guide to Field-Collecting and Herbarium Work by : William Whitman Bailey
Download or read book Botanizing; a Guide to Field-Collecting and Herbarium Work written by William Whitman Bailey and published by Theclassics.Us. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV DIRECTIONS FOR PARTICULAR FAMILIES Methods with Cactaceae. -- At first sight nothing can appear more obdurate than certain cactacess. Many of them are beset with sharp, bayonet-like spines, their points directed simultaneously in several directions. No one touches them with impunity. In hedges they are the despair of poacher, scout, or soldier. They form an impenetrable trocha. The common prickly pear ( Opuntia), which has not these long, projecting spines, is armed with even more dangerous weapons. Where leaves should be are groups of needle-like prickles, dislodged at a touch, and filling the skin with their painful barbs. Again, the Cactacece are coarse, succulent, and, in bulk, unmanageable. One could hardly press a complete specimen, however small. Fortunately this is not required. In case of the Platopuntice the joints can be split and the soft interior removed. Again, the flowers may be sectioned, and the portions dried. When the species are cylindric the branches are split and most of the fleshy interior removed. It is then easily possible to flatten the resulting halves. The object in each case is to exhibit the prickly or spiny areolae. Treated thus, the specimens present no difficulties in drying. Longitudinal sections of Echinocactus are essential. It is important to display the relative distances of the areolae, and at the same time the sharpness or bluntness of the ribs. These sections should reach to the utmost extremities in order to show the very important designative character of the tomentum of the areolae. Count and record on the field-label the number of ribs. Mammilaria is treated somewhat differently. Large quarter sections are cut from the apex downwards. Remove as much as possible of the soft parts and...

Book Synopsis Tropical Plant Collecting by : Scott A. Mori
Download or read book Tropical Plant Collecting written by Scott A. Mori and published by Tecc Editora. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Plant Collecting provides field biologists with information about carrying out fieldwork in tropical America, gathering botanical collections, managing specimens in herbaria, making information about plants available on the Internet, and raising money to fund both expeditions and the preparation of floras and monographs. The book is based on over 40 years of tropical plant collecting in Central and South America by the senior editor and his colleagues. Although traditional field and herbarium techniques are discussed, the book emphasizes how new techniques provided by digital photography, databases, and the Internet have revolutionized plant collecting and data presentation in systematic botany. The audience for this book is tropical biologists and students who, as part of their research, need to gather botanical specimens to document their scientific studies.

Book excerpt: "What good is a dead plant? A lot! Herbaria, a picture book for grades one through eight, explains why, leading readers on an accessible, engaging exploration of who loves dead plants--and why. In these pages, we learn about famous historical plant collectors and the paths they established investigating plants. Readers join today's field botanists as they go far and wide to discover new species, and we get to look in the herbarium at how specimens are mounted and organized for everyone to use and enjoy. The book as a whole helps kids to visualize themselves as botanists gathering, preserving, and unlocking the mysteries of plants. In addition to beautiful watercolor illustrations and photos, the book includes interactive features such as lift-a-flaps, overlays, and a foldout." --Publisher's description.
Book Synopsis Plant Tissue Culture by : Robert H. Smith
Download or read book Plant Tissue Culture written by Robert H. Smith and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Tissue Culture Techniques and Experiments is a manual that contains laboratory exercises about the demonstration of the methods and different plant materials used in plant tissue culture. It provides an overview on the plant cell culture techniques and plant material options in selecting the explant source. This book starts by discussing the proper setup of a tissue culture laboratory and the selection of the culture medium. It then explains the determination of an explant which is the ultimate goal of the cell culture project. The explant is a piece of plant tissue that is used in tissue culture. Furthermore, the book discusses topics about callus induction, regeneration and morphogenesis process, and haploid plants from anther and pollen culture. The meristem culture for virus-free plants and in vitro propagation for commercial propagation of ornamentals are also explained in this manual. The book also provides topics and exercises on the protoplast isolation and fusion and agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants. This manual is intended for college students, both graduate and undergraduate, who study chemistry, plant anatomy, and plant physiology.
