Plant anatomy

As has been mentioned above, essential oils occur in the most varied parts of the plant anatomy, and in many cases in almost every part of a given plant, whilst in many others the essential oil is restricted to one or two parts of the plant only. 

This manuscript was prepared in part while W. V. Dashek was an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Biology at the University of Richmond. I express my appreciation to Dr. W. John Hayden for sharing his extensive knowledge of plant anatomy.

In 1695 Dr. Nehemiah Grew published a dissertation on the medicinal value of salt from these wells (41). Dr. Grew prepared solid Epsom salt from this well water and recognized it as a unique substance The Purging bitter Salt. . . does differ in its Nature and Species from all other Salts (62, 69). Nehemiah Grew in England and Marcello Malpighi in Italy laid the foundations for the science of plant anatomy (70).

Vegetable fibers include materials such as sisal, silk, and cotton, to name a few, which are used in clothing, cordage, carpet backing, or for packing (e.g., jute). Microscopically, these materials can be distinguished from synthetic fibers and further classified on the basis of their microscopic plant anatomy.

Finally, a full understanding of the biochemistry of terpenoids in plants will require an interdisciplinary effort, combining organic chemistry, biochemistry, plant physiology, plant anatomy, and the applied sciences. The conventional segregation of scientific disciplines has been one of the factors impeding progress in this area.

In this chapter we will survey the major features of seed structure which should be understood in order to appreciate points raised in subsequent chapters. Detailed accounts of seed structure can be found in works on plant anatomy and morphology as well as in recently published studies [1, 7]. We will, however, give special, detailed attention to the food reserves of seeds, the site of accumulation of which is obviously closely associated with structure.
