Description based upon print version of record.. - Esau's Plant Anatomy; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; General References; Chapter 1 Structure and Development of the Plant Body-An Overview; Internal Organization of the Plant Body; The Body of a Vascular Plant Is Composed of Three Tissue Systems; Structurally Stem, Leaf, and Root Differ Primarily in the Relative Distribution of the Vascular and Ground Tissues; Summary of Types of Cells and Tissues; Development of the Plant Body; The Body Plan of the Plant Is Established during Embryogenesis. - Chapter 3 The Protoplast: Endomembrane System, Secretory Pathways, Cytoskeleton, and Stored CompoundsEndomembrane System; The Endoplasmic Reticulum Is a Continuous, Three-dimensional Membrane System That Permeates the Entire Cytosol; The Golgi Apparatus Is a Highly Polarized Membrane System Involved in Secretion; Cytoskeleton; Microtubules Are Cylindrical Structures Composed of Tubulin Subunits; Actin Filaments Consist of Two Linear Chains of Actin Molecules in the Form of a Helix; Stored Compounds; Starch Develops in the Form of Grains in Plastids. - PectinsProteins; Callose Is a Widely Distributed Cell Wall Polysaccharide; Lignins Are Phenolic Polymers Deposited Mainly in Cell Walls of Supporting and Conducting Tissues; Cutin and Suberin Are Insoluble Lipid Polymers Found Most Commonly in the Protective Surface Tissues of the Plant; Cell Wall Layers; The Middle Lamella Frequently Is Difficult to Distinguish from the Primary Wall; The Primary Wall Is Deposited While the Cell Is Increasing in Size; The Secondary Wall Is Deposited inside the Primary Wall Largely, If Not Entirely, after the Primary Wall Has Stopped Increasing in Surface Area. - Pits and Primary Pit-Fields. - The Site of Protein Body Assembly Depends on Protein CompositionOil Bodies Bud from Smooth ER Membranes by an Oleosin-mediated Process; Tannins Typically Occur in Vacuoles but Also Are Found in Cell Walls; Crystals of Calcium Oxalate Usually Develop in Vacuoles but Also Are Found in the Cell Wall and Cuticle; Silica Most Commonly Is Deposited in Cell Walls; REFERENCES; Chapter 4 Cell Wall; Macromolecular Components of the Cell Wall; Cellulose Is the Principal Component of Plant Cell Walls; The Cellulose Microfibrils Are Embedded in a Matrix of Noncellulosic Molecules; Principal Hemicelluoses. - With Germination of the Seed, the Embryo Resumes Growth and Gradually Develops into an Adult PlantREFERENCES; Chapter 2 The Protoplast: Plasma Membrane, Nucleus, and Cytoplasmic Organelles; Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells; Cytoplasm; Plasma Membrane; Nucleus; Cell Cycle; Plastids; Chloroplasts Contain Chlorophyll and Carotenoid Pigments; Chromoplasts Contain Only Carotenoid Pigments; Leucoplasts Are Nonpigmented Plastids; All Plastids Are Derived Initially from Proplastids; Mitochondria; Peroxisomes; Vacuoles; Ribosomes; REFERENCES. - This revision of the now classic Plant Anatomy offers a completely updated review of the structure, function, and development of meristems, cells, and tissues of the plant body. The text follows a logical structure-based organization. Beginning with a general overview, chapters then cover the protoplast, cell wall, and meristems, through to phloem, periderm, and secretory structures. ""There are few more iconic texts in botany than Esau's Plant Anatomy... this 3rd edition is a very worthy successor to previous editions..."" ANNALS OF BOTANY, June 2007
