Features: This book is a national-level planning textbook for the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" of general higher education. Based on retaining the characteristics of the previous edition, this revised textbook adheres to the principles of emphasizing fundamentals, enhancing integration, reflecting new achievements in plant science, and cultivating students' abilities and innovative spirit. It is designed to adapt to the adjustment and consolidation of biology-related courses in higher education institutions, as well as to improve the quality of plant science textbooks and teaching. The main content includes plant cells and tissues, the structure and development of plant organs, plant physiology and regulation, plant diversity and evolution, plant-environment interactions, and the conservation and utilization of plant resources, among others. Notably, significant changes have been made to the "knowledge windows" in the book. The book, excluding the introduction, is divided into 17 chapters, and an English-Chinese name index is provided at the end, along with brief introductions and websites of major Chinese and English academic journals related to plant science. The book is richly illustrated, visually engaging, and highly readable, making it suitable as a textbook for undergraduate students in normal universities, comprehensive institutions, as well as in disciplines such as science, engineering, agriculture, forestry, and medicine. It is also an excellent reference for researchers in relevant research institutions and biology teachers in secondary schools.
