Plant science

Plant science is a multidisciplinary area of biology including ecology, taxonomy, genetics, biochemistry, systems biology, horticulture and plant pathology. There are over 410,000 species of land plants on earth, of which 391,000 species are vascular plants, and approximately 20,000 are bryophytes, a group of non-vascular land plants, the liverworts, hornworts and mosses. All plants are multicellular eukaryotes, with their DNA stored in their nuclei. Characteristics of plant cells that distinguish them from animals and fungi include a primary cell wall, and membrane bound organelles known as plastids with photosynthetic and biosynthetic functions – including chloroplasts, in which photosynthesis occurs. Unlike animals, many plant cells do not terminally differentiate and instead are totipotent with the ability to give rise to a new individual plant.
