About this bookThe sixth edition of Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology provides a modern and comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of botany while retaining the important focus of natural selection, analysis of botanical phenomena, and diversity. Students are first introduced to topics that should be most familiar (plant structure), proceed to those less familiar (plant physiology and development), and conclude with topics that are likely least familiar to the introductory student (genetics, evolution, and ecology).The updated sixth edition includes the latest material on molecular biology, plant biotechnology, and the most recent coverage of taxonomy and phylogeny of plants, to keep students on the forefront of cutting-edge botanical research. New pedagogical features, including chapter opening learning objectives, Did You Know? Boxes, and new and updated end-of-chapter critical thinking questions, guide students' focus and assesses comprehension.
