The Virtual Plant CD-ROM is a companion to the book "Plant Anatomy", an essential reference for undergraduates taking courses in plant anatomy, applied plant anatomy and plant biology, and for researchers and postgraduates in plant sciences. This network version of the CD-ROM contains high-quality photographs and scanning electron microscope images. This key resource will give students access to the microscopic detail of plant structures, essential to gaining a real understanding of the subject. Exercises for the laboratory are also included on the CD-ROM, making this work an indispensable resource for lectures and laboratory classes.
