• Sommario/riassunto: This book, authored by Hansjörg Krähmer and Linnea Hesse, delves into the anatomy, diversity, and ecological significance of rhizomes, a type of underground plant stem. It covers the role of rhizomes in agriculture and pharmacology, their evolutionary development, and their anatomical and morphological characteristics across various plant groups, including monocots and eudicots. The text also discusses the genetic aspects of rhizome development and their commercial importance, particularly in agriculture and weed management. Aimed at botanists, agronomists, and plant scientists, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of rhizome structures and their function, challenging existing botanical definitions and offering new insights into plant morphology.
