Excerpt from Textbook of Botany for Colleges and Universities, Vol. 1: Part II, PhysiologyWe recognize that the presentation of the three great subjects here included is very compact, but the book is not intended for reading and recitation. The teacher is expected to use it for suggestive material and for its organization; the student is expected to use it in relating his observations to one another and to the general points of view that the book seeks to develop. There is a continuity of presentation in each part, so that random selection may miss the largest meaning. For example, in the part on morphology, the thread upon which the facts are strung is the evolution of the plant kingdom, and each plant introduced has its peculiar application in illustrating some phase of this evolution. When certain groups are selected for laboratory study, therefore, the intervening text should be read.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Textbook of Botany for Colleges and Universities, Vol. 2Since ecology overlaps various sciences, it is less a simple science than a science complex; its adequate study presupposes a foundation in the basic principles of physics, chemistry, morphology, and physiology, Recently proposed terms for the ecology of the individual organism and for that of organisms en masse are, respectively, autecology and synecology.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1911 Excerpt: ...twig of the cottonwood (Populus deltoides); note the large buds with imbricated scale leaves (c); note also that the lateral buds (c) are about as well developed as the terminal bud(/); other lettering as in 1057; 1059, a twig of Catalpa; note the small winter buds, both terminal (/) and lateral (c); note also the prominent circular leaf scars (/) with an inner circle (v), representing the position of the vascular bundles severed upon leaf fall. trolled in the main by definite external factors rather than by an influence residing in the main shoot. Elongation in spring may be associated with the vigorous movement of structural materials at that season, and subsequent dwarfing may be associated with a reduced movement, perhaps supplemented by increased desiccation. The amount of branch elongation varies with the season and is reciprocal to the width of the annual ring (p. 691), maximum elongation occurring in moist and minimum elongation in dry seasons. Differences between twigs of different species (e.g. the slender elongated twigs of willows, as compared with the stout twigs of the sumacs) appear inherent rather than related to external factors. Additional periodic phenomena.--Periodicity is exhibited in the daily growth of stems, elongation being greater by night than by day, as is illustrated by the bamboo, of whose extraordinary growth about two thirds occurs by night. The factors here involved are complex, but may be associated in part with the absence of light (directly or indirectly or both) and with lessened transpiration. Notable periodicity is exhibited by biennial rosette plants (fig. 1036), in which, possibly because of insufficient structural material, there is no stem development during the first season, though a vigorous erect stem rises in t...

Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ...leaf blade soon show a deficiency in starch content, and that when the stomata are closed with cocoa butter starch formation does not occur. Further it appears that shoots free from starch soon showed the presence of that substance if placed in sunlight in an atmosphere containing CO2, but controls, also in sunlight but in an atmosphere without C02, showed no starch. Support is also given to the contention that many of these plants receive no carbohydrates from their hosts by the fact that they will thrive as root parasites upon annuals which have no starch or sugar stored in their subterranean organs.--Geo. D. Fuller. Phosphorescence in plants Molisch has issued a second and enlarged edition of his work on phosphorescing plants. The book is very simply and interestingly written, and brings up to date his own extensive work in this field as well as the work of all other investigators. The first chapter answers negatively the question "are there phosphorescing algae?", and shows that such appearances are due to light reflection or to animals living on the algae. The second chapter gives the evidence for the existence of phosphorescence in marine Peridineae and for its absence in fresh water forms. The third chapter deals at length with the phenomenon in fungi, both Hyphomycetes and bacteria, and the fourth shows the relation of salts and temperature to the light production in bacteria. The fifth treats of the nutrition, phosphorescing, and growth of the light-producing fungi, and the sixth with the manner in which light is produced. Phosphorescence is an oxidation process demanding a minimal though very small partial pressure of oxygen. There is no convincing evidence for any direct relation between respiration and phosphorescence, much...
