Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the results of the author's research into the structural evolution of mechanical tissues in Setaria, a genus of grass. The author shows that six different types of mechanical tissues exist in the leaves of Setaria and twelve types in the stems, and posits that the diversity of these tissues is linked not to phylogenetic development, but rather to the functional demands placed on them. This work is a significant contribution to the study of plant anatomy, especially the mechanical tissues, as it analyzes their ecological significance in a group of plants that is fundamental to agricultural productivity.
