Botany is a natural science concerned with the study of plants. The main branches of botany (also referred to as "plant science") are commonly divided into three groups: core topics, concerned with the study of the fundamental natural phenomena and processes of plant life, the classification and description of plant diversity; applied topics which study the ways in which plants may be used for economic benefit in horticulture, agriculture and forestry; and organismic topics which focus on plant groups such as algae, mosses or flowering plants. == Core topics == * Cytology — cell structure, chromosome number * Epigenetics — Control of gene expression * Paleobotany — Study of fossil plants and plant evolution * Palynology — Pollen and spores * Plant biochemistry — Chemical processes of primary and secondary metabolism * Phenology — timing of germination, flowering and fruiting * Phytochemistry — Plant secondary chemistry and chemical processes * Phytogeography — Plant Biogeography, the study of plant distributions * Phytosociology — Plant communities and interactions * Plant anatomy — Structure of plant cells and tissues * Plant ecology — Role and function of plants in the environment * Plant evolutionary developmental biology — Plant development from an evolutionary perspective * Plant genetics — Genetic inheritance in plants * Plant morphology — Structure of plants * Plant physiology — Life functions of plants * Plant reproduction — Processes of plant reproduction * Plant systematics — Classification and naming of plants * Plant taxonomy — Classification and naming of plants 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Branches of botany」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
