Plant Tissue Sites

  1. Phillip Stebbins recommends This URL pertains to all catagories, as it is the homepae for theAustralian Journal of Botany. It lists many resourses to use if doingresearch for botany related stuff, and would be of interest to student taking thiscourse if they needed to find info on botany and didn't know where to look.
  2. Laura Mowrer recommends It was pretty neat actually and the summary was prettystraightforward for me to understand. It dealt with material that we are coveringin class at this time. This research activity that this site talked aboutwas focused primarly on three areas. The three areas being, plantmolecular and cell biology, plant structural and developmental biology, andplant physiology and biosphysics.
  3. Karen Vogten recommends I found it particularly interesting since it lists many plantsalphabetically and then provides a wide array of information about them. Uponselecting the plant you are interested in, the next page provides you withinformation about leaf structure and anatomy, stem anatomy, floral/fruit/seedmorphology and development, plant taxonomy, the plant's most common uses, and itcites interesting quotes about the plant from books, poems, songs, andfamous speeches. All in all it provided a very useful source of knowledge,I thought.
  4. Pete Singer I read an article on plant extremes. I discovered the largest ofall plant lea ves belongs to a palm found in Africa. It is called raffia palm. Its leaves m easure seventy-five feet long. I also learned that the largestflower belongs to a parasitic plant called RAFFLESIA. Its flowers can be 3 feetacross
  5. Vinnie Lapiana recommends While I was looking for a cite on xylem I came across thesetest, I think they would be very helpful for students taking this course because a lotof the questions deal with the subjects that our in our lectures.
  6. recommends This site is an interesting way to help students furtherdistinguish between monocots and dicots. It is insightful and provides extra insight.
  7. Danielle Lynn recommends This site gives information about careers in plant pathology thatmight be of i nterest to botany majors in BMZ or other students just interestedin seeing som e applications of knowledge of botany. I found an interesting article on the differences between monocotsvs. dicots. Since we're studying both monocots and dicots in laboratory aswell as lecture I thought it would be a good subject to study. I found that JohnRay was the first to classify the two as different organisms in the year 1682.
  8. Albert Rocchini recommends This arcticle was about Nitrogen and Phosphorous in the soil andhow it was very complicated reading. The arcticle stated that in the longterm, nitrogen limitation may slow the diomass production response toelevated CO2. It also talked about many other things. It was a very informativearcticle.
  9. Summer Dewdney recommends This cite is of interest to students who are taking this coursebecause it has interesting information about plant tissue. It describes how it ispossible to culture plants from embryonic tissue and also gives a lab on how toperform it. recommends I also found a cite of tests, which has general questions about theinformation of this course, I think it would be very helpful to students topractice questions for the exams:
  10. Brad Lewis recommends This site is excellent for seeing the main differences betweenmonocots and dic ots and also discusses common questions about the 2 main classes. A comparison table between the monocots and dicots characteristics was helpfulfor instance monocots have embryo with a single cotyledon, while dicots haveembryo with two cotyledons.
  11. ???? recommends subject: Plant tissues I feel that this would be a helpful page for students in the futurebecause it discusses plants from different areas of the world and the tissuesinvolved. I provides a mare well rounded look at botany on a internationallevel
  12. Jennifer Demic recommends This web site dealt with some of the material that was givenin lecture on 3/8/96. In greater detail, it explained the components of theflowering parts of Angiosperms. Discussed were: carpels, pistils, stamens,and the perianth (which surrounds the reproductive organs and consists ofthe sepals and petals). I found that angiosperm means "vessel seed", and thata fruit is a matured ovary. Other areas of the site allowed you to read moreabout monocots vs. dicots, and it also provided a fruit key.
