Why do plants need to be watered and what good does the wood in its trunk do for the tree? The root, stem, leaf, flower and seed -- all the parts that most of us think of when we think of a plant -- are examined in detail in this illuminating book to see...

Bioinformatics is an evolving field that is gaining popularity due to genomics, proteomics and other high-throughput biological methods. The function of bioinformatic scientists includes biological data storage, retrieval and in silico analysis of the...

Accumulation of different compounds from soil, water or even from the atmosphere is a typical feature of plants as the organisms are dependent on mineral nutrition. However, in the case of high concentrations of metals in soil, their accumulation is not...

The State of the Union address is a communication between the President and Congress in which the chief executive reports on the current conditions of the United States and provides policy proposals for the upcoming legislative year. Formerly known as...

Why don't trees get tired holding their limbs out for a hundred years? Why can a single African Violet leaf produce a dozen identical new plants? Any why don't plants bleed to death when their leaves fall off naturally? Descriptions of the plant parts...
