The book entitled Biodiversity Evaluation-Botanical Perspective covers 26 peer reviewed articles by eminent scientists from different parts of India. The articles in the book are presented in three sections. The first section on biotechnological aspects covers articles on evaluation and exploitation of microbes and higher plants. The focus of the second section is on exploration and evaluation of intra-and inter-specific cytogenetical diversity of different groups of angiosperms. The third section is devoted to physiological and ecological researches on plant sciences covering both basic and applied aspects. In this section besides articles on physiological aspects th.
