Intended for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students, this comprehensive resource offers a new concept-based organization, enhancing educational appeal through end-of-chapter literature references, self-quizzes, and illustration interpretation. The pedagogical approach contrasts with traditional discipline-based methods, making plant anatomy more accessible. It also provides instructors, even those without a primary background in plant anatomy, with ample reference material for organization and class presentation. The text features over 1150 high-resolution color micrographs, diagrams, and scanning electron micrographs, along with side-boxes that connect plant anatomy to molecular biology, classical investigations, functional activities, and research in forestry, environmental studies, and genetics. Each of the 19 richly illustrated chapters includes an abstract, keywords, an introduction, a body divided into 10 to 20 concept-based sections, and a list of references. Additionally, chapters contain a section-by-section concept review, connections, assessments with 10 multiple-choice questions, and applications. Answers to assessments are provided in an appendix, while an index and a glossary with over 700 defined terms complete the volume.
