Vascular Organization of Angiosperms (eBook, ePUB)

A New Vision

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study of plant anatomy is based on newly available data on the structure and spatial organization of the vascular system of plants. For the first time, by means of a new technique of intracellular moulding, the vascular system can be observed in its length.
