Teaching Documents about Plant Anatomy
Ernst-Georg Beck, Zentrale für Unterrichtswesen: Biokurs 2001 (in German). Go to: Pflanzenanatomie und Photosynthese.
Dale Benham, Nebraska Wesleyn University: Plant Anatomy Study - Interactive Version. Four lessons (Cell Types, Meristems, Plant Organs and Tissues) are available here for study. See also: The Plant Anatomy Archive. This site contains over 50 images of stems, roots, and leaves of vascular plants commonly studied in Plant Biology courses. No interpretive information is included.
Dale Benham, Nebraska Wesleyn University: Angiosperm Reproduction. Eleven lessons take the user through angiosperm reproduction in the lily, including megagametophyte and microgametophyte development. Additionally a corn kernal is used to study the embryo.
! Alice Bergfeld (she is the English editor), Rolf Bergmann, University of Hamburg, and Peter v. Sengbusch, University of Bielefeld and Institut für Allgemeine Botanik, University of Hamburg: BOTANY Online - The Internet Hypertextbook. Botany online is based on the textbook 'Botanik' by Peter von Sengbusch (Mc Graw Hill Book Company, 1989). Lots of new figures, permanently updated. Superbly done, exemplary for the web´s future! Go to Anatomy of Cells and Tissues, Microscopy, Looking at the Structures of Cells and Tissues in the Microscope, Dermal Tissues, Parenchyma and Assimilation Tissues, Supporting Tissues - Vascular Tissues, and A Short Introduction to the Principal Intracellular Structures.
! The Botanical Society of America: Online Image Collection. This is a collection of approximately 800 images available for instructional use. Currently, there are 14 collections of images: Plant Geography, Plant Morphology, Phloem Development, Xylem Development, Floral Ontogeny, Lichens, Economic Botany, Carnivorous Plants, Organography, Pollen, Paleobotany, Plant Defense Mechanisms, Plant Anatomy, and Cellular Communication Channels. Excellent!

! Plant Ontology Consortium (POC).
The main objective of the POC is to develop, curate and
share controlled vocabularies (ontologies) that describe plant structures and growth and developmental stages,
providing a semantic framework for meaningful cross-species queries across databases. Go to:
Search, or visit the
Plant Ontology Tutorials
(Quicktime movies or Powerpoint slides).
