Biology 533 - Plant Structure and Function

Spring 2003 Semester - Anatomy Links


The website for Mauseth, J.D. 1988. Plant Anatomy has micrographs for most of the chapters and includes informative text.

Teaching Section Slide Program of the Botanical Society of America has nice micrographs, some of which you’ve seen in lecture.

This site contains class information for Plant Anatomy (BIO 311) taught at the University of Rhode Island in Fall 2001, by Dr. Alison Roberts. This link is for the list of images used in the course.

Angiosperm Structure & Function Tutorials

Atlas of Plant Anatomy
From Brazil: micrographs of shoot, root, leaf that you can pass the mouse over and click on the highlighted area in order to get the definition about the structure.

The GardenWeb Glossary of Botanical Terms contains 4400 terms relating to botany, gardening, horticulture and landscape architecture. Useful too, but I've used the Academic Press Dictionary more.

A PLANT ANATOMY DICTIONARY OF LAST RESORT, name says it all

This is an On-Line Biology Book: Table of Contents. The Plant Anatomy pages have a good, basic review of plant structures

And this one is: Botany online - The Internet Hypertextbook
From Germany, translations a bit rough in places, but still very informative.

    Contents:
    Introduction
    Anatomy of Cells and Tissues
    Classic Genetics
    Molecules and Molecular Reactions in Plant Cells
    Intercellular Communication
    Interactions between Plants and Fungi, Bacteria, Viruses
    Evolution
    The Plant Kingdom: An Overview
    Ecology

Virtual Cell: a trip through a 3-D plant cell.

Dennis Kunkel’s website of colorized SEM images. We have seen most of the plant images in lecture, but there are many more amazing images here to browse.

Various micrographs are on this site: Plant Anatomy and they are without explanations.

An Atlas of Plant Anatomy: nicely organized images with brief descriptions.

The Plant Cell website, containing:
* Plastids
* The Cell Wall
* Primary cell walls
* Secondary cell walls
* Vacuoles
* Plasmolysis

A few images of the plant cell wall with link to images used in Botany 359 taught at Pacific Lutheran University.

CELLWALL Home: A site for those who want to know a lot more about cell walls! A resource for plant cell wall biologists, especially those interested in polysaccharide biosynthesis.

Bill Lucas' Plasmodesmata Lab at UC Davis. Current, active research on the structure and function of plasmodesmata.
