This book, "Botany of Horticultural Crops," is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide for students, educators, researchers, and professionals involved in the horticultural sciences. It aims to bridge the gap between classical botanical principles and their practical application in horticulture. By exploring the anatomy, morphology, physiology, embryology, taxonomy, and reproductive biology of key horticultural plant groups, this book lays a strong foundation for advanced studies and research.
The preparation of
this book has been driven by the growing need for a targeted, student-friendly,
and academically rigorous resource that highlights the botanical aspects
specific to horticulture. We hope it will not only enhance the conceptual
clarity of the readers but also inspire a deeper appreciation for the intricate
biology that underpins successful crop cultivation and improvement.
