The present book, Botany of Vegetable Crops, is different from other books onvegetable crops. It contains 12 chapters with emphasis on major vegetable crops like Tomato, Chilli, Egg plant / Brinjal, Okra / Bhendi, Water melon, Bottlegourd, Bitter gourd, Cucumber, Ridge gourd, Sponge gourd, Cabbage andCoriander. It discusses on the morphology and anatomy of a few commonvegetable plants. Morphological characters help in identifying the plant. It also gives an idea of the different adaptive modifications in the plant. It even mirrorsthe habitat, the climatic conditions under which it can be cultivated. The anatomical studies of each of the vegetable plant are also being presented here as we believe the morphological characters alone cannot project the adaptations in the plant. They can better be understood when supplemented with the anatomical characteristics unique to individual type of crop. Glossary added in this book can help readers to understand some related terminologies and bringing clarity of the content. We expect that this book would be of great help to a student of plant sciences, to a research scholar for reference and agood source of information, to a plant breeder, and to the scientific communityin general.
