Research in plant morphoanatomy in the province of Vojvodina in the 20th century

Abstract

In order to understand the diversity of flora and vegetation in a region, the knowledge of the biology of particular plant species is very important. Under the influence of numerios complex biotic and abiotic factors, biological plasticity of the species is reflected in the morphological level through a series of macro and micro adaptations. The subject of the initial research was the analysis of the external plant form, which was implemented in the fields of plant systematics and taxonomy. In the mid-20th century, with the development of the microtechnical equipment, morphoanatomy become a separate scientific area. Numerous researchers contributed to its development. The contribution of some of them is the subject of this paper. This paper gives a general overview of scientific results in different areas of plant morphoanatomy, resulting from researches carred out in the province of Vojvodina during the 20th century, as well as a list of bibliographic units published in scientific journals.
