Advancement in Plant Taxonomy system
Numerous methods have been developed to identify genetic materials since the development of molecular biology. This has enabled us to compare individuals across taxonomic levels and overcome classification challenges in the absence of fossil data.
- Numerical Taxonomy: This done using machines and computers. Some numbers and code are provided to each corrector.
- Chemotaxonomy: In this plant nucleic acid and its other constituents have been used to identify the taxonomic characteristics.
- Cytotaxonomy: In this chromosomal number, shape and size which are cytological charcters used to determine taxonomy.
What is Plant Taxonomy?
Plant taxonomy is the branch of science that deals with plant identification, name, classification, and description. Plant taxonomy is associated with plant systematics. Plant systematics is the study that evaluates the relationship between plants and their evolution at higher levels while plant taxonomy deals with handling specimens whether it is known or unknown species.
