Abstract
Plant Biology, as one of the subject areas of Elsevier’s Reference Module in Life Sciences encompasses the extensive depth and breadth of the different subfields of biology that share a common focus on plants. At the highest level, Plant Biology can be divided into two major categories: first, Plant Biology that is basic foundational research, and second, applied plant sciences that builds on the discoveries of basic science and develops leading-edge technologies through innovation and translation into agriculture. Within the basic areas of Plant Biology, four major categories emerge as: (1) plant anatomy, (2) plant morphology and evolution, (3) plant physiology, and (4) plant molecular and cellular biology. Within the applied plant sciences, there are many more categories that have been grouped into major subfields, including vegetable, fruit and nut crops; floriculture; horticulture; postharvest physiology; agronomy and weed science; plant pathology and plant breeding; and genetic modification of crops, along with broader areas of investigation, such as plants and the environment; tropical crops and ecosystems; forestry; sustainability and production systems; and conservation biology of crop plants. The Plant Biology section in the Reference Module offers an extensive knowledge resource for all areas of Plant Biology in a format that is committed to relevance, quality, and currency, that is to say that the articles represent leading-edge and up-to-date reviews of each area within the overall subject field of Plant Biology.
