Publisher's Synopsis
Manual of Experimental Botany is a comprehensive guide to the study of plants and their behavior in various experimental settings. Written by Frank Owen Payne in 1912, this book covers a wide range of topics related to botany, including plant anatomy and physiology, seed germination, growth and development, and reproduction. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of experimental botany. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, outlining the basic principles of plant growth and development. Subsequent chapters delve deeper into topics such as plant nutrition, photosynthesis, and respiration, as well as the structure and function of various plant organs such as leaves, stems, and roots. The book also includes detailed instructions for conducting experiments in each of these areas, with step-by-step procedures and clear illustrations to guide the reader. These experiments range from simple observations of plant growth and behavior to more complex investigations involving chemical analysis and microscopy. Throughout the book, Payne emphasizes the importance of careful observation and accurate measurement in experimental botany, and provides numerous examples of how these techniques can be applied to better understand plant behavior. Overall, Manual of Experimental Botany is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of botany, providing a thorough and practical guide to the study of plants in a laboratory setting.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
