ACT OF LOVE

O my God, I love you above all things,


with my whole heart and soul, because
you are all-good and worthy of all love. I
love my neighbor as myself for the love
of you. I forgive all who have injured
me, and I ask pardon of all whom I have
injured. Amen

Direction: Using a cloud below, list different branches of
botany that you know.

BRANCHES OF BOTANY
1. Morphology
(Morphe=form,
logos=science) : Under this
branch we study the form
and structure of plants.
That branch of
morphology which is
based upon the external
form and structure of plant
is called External
2. Anatomy
The study of
internal structure
of the plant with
the help of section
cutting is called
Internal
Morphology or
Anatomy.
3. Histology
The study of
cells and tissues
with the help of
microscope is
called histology.
Cytology :
Detailed study of the cells
is called cytology. It
includes structure, function
of different cell organelles,
nucleus and cell inclusions.
Different types of cell
divisions are included in
this branch. The study of
this branch has become
possible only with the help
of electron microscope.
5. Plant Physiology
This branch includes the study
of various vital activities of the
plant. All chemical and physical
changes taking place in the cell
and any exchange of substances
between the cell and its
environment are called vital
activities of the cell, e.g.,
photosynthesis, respiration etc.
6. Taxonomy
In this branch the
plants are classified
according to their
characteristics and
interrelationship. With
the help of plant
taxonomy we are able
to identify the plants
and know their
7. Ecology
(Oikos = house; logos =
science) : This branch deals
with the study of environment
of plants and their
communities and vice-versa.
Included in this branch are the
studies of adaptations of plants
with reference to their
environment. This branch also
includes the studies of soil
erosion, soil conservation and
pollution.
8. Genetics
Is the study of heredity
and variations. What are
the Laws of inheritance
and why the offspring
resembles or differs
from the parent are
studied under this
branch.
9. Plant
breeding :
Branch of
botany dealing
with the
development of
improved
varieties of
plants.
10. Embryolog
The male and female
y
gametes of a plant fuse to
form the zygote. Zygote
develops into an embryo
(in embryophyta) with
plumule, cotyledons and
radicle. When germination
of seed takes place, the
entire plant develops from
these organs. We study all
these developments in
embryology.
11. Paleobotany
is the study of fossil
plants. Plants which
flourished and lived on the
surface of globe several
million year ago but are
not living now and are
found as rocks. In which
rocks and parts of the
world they are found, what
is their structure and how
they are interrelated to the
plants of the present day.
12. Economic Botany
In this branch of botany
we study the plants with
reference to their
products. Which plants
produce medicines,
gums, oils, fibers, fuel,
wood etc., are studied
under this branch.
13. Plant Pathology
This branch includes different types of
disease of plants, their symptoms, causal
agent and methods of control.
14. Organic
evolution : This is the
branch of Botany in
which we study the
evolution of complex
organisms from
simple ones and the
principles involved in
it. Some new aspects
of Botany based on
modern technology
are as follows.
15. Biochemistry (Phytochemistry) : Study of chemistry of plants.
16. Biophysics : Study of plant activities on the basis of
principles of physics.
17. Biotechnology – a
new and sometimes
controversial branch
of biology that studies
the manipulation of
living matter,
including genetic
modification.
18. Microbiology : Study of microorganisms.
It includes the study of viruses, bacteria,
microfungi, microalgae and protozoa in
relation to plants.
19. Molecular biology : Study of biochemistry
at molecular level.
20. Palynology : Study of pollen grains in relation to
taxonomy and evolution etc.
21. Biometrics : Statistical analysis of different results of
biological experiments.
22. Genetic
Engineering :
Adding,
removing or
repairing part of
genetic material,
thereby changing
the phenotype of
organism as
desired.
Branches allied to Botany

23. Agronomy : Is the science which deals with the crop plants.

24. Horticulture : Is the science which deals with the study of


flowering and fruiting plants.
25.Pharmacog
nosy : Is the
branch of
science
dealing with
the medicinal
plants.
26. Pedology
: Is the
science
dealing with
the study of
soils
