Plant Biology and Evolution Index


(Updated: February 17, 2004)
This section is devoted to plant biology and evolution. Most people I meet don't care much about plants over and above including such things like lettuce and parlsey as part of someone's daily food consumption. I just have to say that plants can be an interesting group to study too! Don't worry, this is all good stuff -- some excellent examples about how evolution works can be seen from the plant world.
