Botany is a branch of biology and is the scientific study of plant life and development. It includes study of the structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases and chemical properties of plants and the evolutionary relationships between the different groups.
This category is for organizations which do not themselves conduct scientific research but aim to spread information about such research. They organize meetings, publish journals and provide research grants for scientists in the field.
Botanical Gardens and Arboreta are scientific institutions that acquire and maintain living collections of plants for the purposes of research and education. They perform the same function for plants as Zoos and Aquariums do for animals.Typically, botanical gardens and arboreta must have a full-time scientific staff, an herbarium and library, and a catalogued collection of thousands of plants. Although botanical gardens and arboreta may also have a public viewing area, in which case they may be listed as well under Public Gardens, it is the presence of a viable research faculty using an herbarium or herbaria which distinguishes botanical gardens and arboreta from public gardens. This tends to make botanical gardens and arboreta larger in size and more dedicated to preservation of plant taxa than Public Gardens, however size or reputation are not the determining factors.
Bryology is the scientific study of Bryophytes - mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
This category contains sites about Dendrology which is the study of woody plants including trees, shrubs and lianas.
This category is for links to any campus or department related to Botany or Plant Sciences. Also, research institutes, labs, etc, which belong to that departments are welcome here too.
Ethnobotany is the study of plants as they relate to or are used by specific cultures. Examples may include use as food or medicine, or for spiritual or agricultural purposes.
A herbarium is a collection of preserved plants or plant parts, usually in a dried form. Most of them are connected to academic institutions. This category lists websites for herbaria around the world.
This category is for sites on phenology, the study of the times of recurring natural phenomena, in particular, the time frame for any seasonal phenomena.
This category is for sites about the scientific study of algae.
Physiology is concerned with the functioning of plants. This is largely interactions between plants and their environments. As such plant physiology bridges the gap between biochemistry and ecology.
This category is for websites dealing with botany-themed books, magazines, journals, and other publications.
Most research activities will either occur in academic departments or in research institutes (which may either be in universities or external). Both of these are included in this category.
Sites providing information on the propagation of plants by cloning of small pieces of tissue, to generate whole plants, using growth medium, for subsequent transfer to nurseries or agricultural use, also known as micropropagation..
