The present book is designed for B.Sc. (Gen.) and B.Sc. (Hons.) students of all Indian university. The book is amply illustrated with diagrams. Almost all important genera are discussed giving details of structure, anatomy, developmental stages of reproductive organs from different sections like Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnospersm. Paleobotany section deals with important fossil genera from Pteridophytes and Gymnospersm. Various comparisons of different genera are given in all sections. Experimental studies of Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnospersms are discussed from recent literature.

An informative, innovative and comprehensive text on the subject, the second revised edition of the book offers a coherent account of various aspects of pteridophyta, in the light of new findings. It covers the entire course of reading on the subject for BSc and MSc degrees.

The book covers the entire course on archegoniate plants which is prescribed in the syllabi of different universities for undergraduate students. The presentation is comprehensive and innovative. The book describes different divisions of plant kingdom related to archegoniate plants covering their life cycle, relationship, classification and economic importance. Details of different genera in terms of morphology, anatomy, reproduction and sexuality have been explained with due diagrams. The book also discusses topics like heterospory, seed habit, leaf phylogeny, stellar system, alternation of generations, regeneration in general and special role of germ cells—egg and spore—in life cycle. Experimental studies described in the book highlight the phenomena of apogamy and apospory, their occurrence, induction and alternate role in life cycle. Also given are accounts on micropropagation of gymnosperms and ferns, for commerce and industry. Key Features • Covers Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms • Loaded with up-to-date information gathered through research results • Supports description through explicit diagrams for clear understanding • Short and to-the-point description so as to cover the entire syllabus within a semester
