Botany Links
Welcome to the Botany Links page. These links are provided as additional information to go along with the topics covered on my website. At the time of this posting, the links are all in working order, but if you come across one that doesn't work, please contact me at WWDD.
Online Botany Texts
Read the guide to using this website and pointers for studying plant biology. If you are a teacher interested in getting copies of the lab exercises in Microsoft Word files, please visit the Downloading Page. A Typical Plant Cell is shown here.
Botany Online - Internet Hypertextbook
58 chapters cover botany basics, from cell structure to Mendelian genetics to molecular reactions in plants. Accompanying the clear text are many images and movies: micrographs of cells, interactive molecular models, even animations modeling how cells form patterns.

A leaf may be viewed as a solar collector crammed full of photosynthetic cells. This is a highly illustrated and colorful presentation.

Plant Biology at Kimball's Biology Includes angiosperm life cycle, asexual reproduction in plants, plant cells, chlorophyll, germination of seeds, the leaf, photosynthesis, roots, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, transpiration and more. |
Read a biography of a famous botanist, locate a picture of a rare plant, or learn how to propagate geraniums. The content runs from highly technical DNA databases to general how-to's on plant care. Searchable archives stretch back to 1996.
Plant Taxonomy
This taxonomic synopsis provides key physical and biochemical characteristics for hundreds of families and genera and all of the 80-odd orders of flowering plants.
The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories. It includes names, plant symbols, checklists, distributional data, species abstracts, characteristics, images, plant links, references, crop information, and automated tools.

The International Plant Names Index The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) is a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of all seed plants. Its goal is to eliminate the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names. The data are freely available and are gradually being standardized and checked. IPNI will be a dynamic resource, depending on direct contributions by all members of the botanical community. |
Trees and Forestry
An educational resource for all age levels.
The Mission of The Bugwood Work Group is to gather, create, maintain, promote the use of, and economically distribute digital information both as resources and as tools to enhance and complement information exchange and educational activities primarily in the fields of entomology, forestry, forest health and natural resources.
Dendrome is a collection of forest tree genome databases and other forest genetic information resources for the international forest genetics community.
Miscellaneous

Botany for the Next Millennium From the Botanical Society of America. |
Hormones get blamed for some crazy behavior in humans, but you should see what they do to plants. These potent growth regulators stimulate flowering, induce cell elongation, determine sex, and more. By Steve Croker and colleagues at the University of Bristol, U.K.
A review of the book by the same name, by Bob Patterson.
Deals with decay-resistant remains of certain plants and animals.
21 time-lapse movies reveal the almost imperceptible movements of plants. The films illustrate concepts such as geotropism and phototropism (movements in response to gravity and light) and daily cycles of activity.
