Plant, Cellular and Molecular Biology

Plant Sciences and Research:

Plant Science, Plant Biology, Botany or Phytology, is the science of plant life and branch of Biology. Botany has also included the study of Fungi and Algae by mycologists and phycologists. In basics, Plant Science is the study of plants in all their forms and interactions using a scientific approach. Plant Science originated as herbalism. Botany or the study of Plants, Developed as science and Investigations on the taxonomy, anatomy, morphology, physiology and ecology of plants were institutionalized as fields of advanced study at institutions of higher learning. The areas of plant study that placed major emphasis on the use of plants by humans or as agricultural products became known as the plant sciences. The plant and forestry, and specialized cross commodity fields such as agronomy, horticulture, entomology, integrated pest management.

Throughout human history, plants have been the object of universal and at times dominant artistic and intellectual interest. Plants were important subjects from the most primitive study of life processes, and they were central to scientific study in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Worthy reasons remain to study the basic life processes of plants. Research on plants enhances our intellectual life and adds to our knowledge about other life processes. The results of Plant research systems also can demonstrate us how to approach problems in agriculture, health, and the environment.
