Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology defines the field of plant morphology, providing resources, examples, and theoretical constructs that illuminate the foundations of plant morphology and clearly outline the importance of integrating a fundamental understanding of plant morphology into modern research in plant genetics, development, and physiology. As research on developmental genetics and plant evolution emerges, an understanding of plant morphology is essential to interpret developmental and morphological data. The principles of plant morphology are being brought into studies of crop development, biodiversity, and evolution during climate change, and increasingly such researchers are turning to old texts to uncover information about historic research on plant morphology. Hence, there is great need for a modern reference and textbook that highlights past studies and provides the synthesis of data necessary to drive our future research in plant morphological and developmental evolution.
Key Features
- Numerous illustrations demonstrating the principles of plant morphology
- Historical context for interpretations of more recent genetic data
- Firmly rooted in the principles of studying plant form and function
- Provides evolutionary framework without relying on evolutionary interpretations for plant form
- Only synthetic treatment of plant morphology on the market

Editorial Reviews
Review
"… the book is a treasure trove of examples illustrating virtually every variation of vegetative plant structure you can think of.… there should be a copy of Kaplan’s Principles of Plant Morphology in every library supporting plant researchers."
