Ontogeny, Cell Differentiation, and Structure of Vascular Plants

With improved microscope and preparation techniques, studies of histo­ logical structures of plant organisms experienced a revival of interest at the end of the 19th century. From that time, histological data have sub­ stantially studies of the pioneers in botanical science. From the beginning of th...
