Paleobotany is the study of the history of plants through fossils. Dendrology is the study of trees, lianas and shrubs.

. Bryology is the study of mosses, hornworts and liverworts. Plant Anatomy is the study of the plants' cell and tissue makeup. Plant Genetics study the genetic makeup of plants. Plant Morphology studies the life cycle as well as the structure of the plants. Plant Physiology studies the usefulness of plants. Ethnobotany is the study of human-plant relationship. Phytopathology studies the diseases of plants. Agronomy is the study of the application of Botany to produce crops. Pomology is the study of the cultivation of fruit bearing plants. Horticulture concentrates on cultivating plants like fruits, vegetables, trees, shrubs, flowers, turfs, berries and nuts. Plant Ecology studies the importance and the role of plants in the eco system.

Agrostology: A branch of botany which studies grasses. Palynology: A branch of earth science which studies palynomorphs (very small particles), in
particular spores and pollen found from contemporary sources or fossils.

Pomology: A branch of botany which studies 'pome' fruit, although it has been used in reference to
the study of all fruits.

Plant Geograpgy A major division of botany, concerned with all aspects of the spatial distribution
of plants. Also known as geographical botany; phytochorology; phytogeography.

organic evolution - (biology) the sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a
species or taxonomic group of organisms

Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissuesof plants and animals. Cytology Cytology is that branch of life science, which deals with the study of cells in terms of
structure, function and chemistry.

Taxonomy a field of science that encompasses the description, identification, nomenclature, and
classification of organisms.

Pedology is the study of soils in their natural environment.[1] It is one of two main branches of soil
science, the other beingedaphology. Pedology deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, and soil classification, while edaphology studies the way soils influence plants, fungi, and other living things.

Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within, and relating to, living organisms.[1] By
controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life.

Economic Botany is the commercial exploitation of plants by people. Economic botany contributes
significantly to anthropology, biology, conservation, botany, and other fields of science. This link between botany and anthropology explores the ways humans use plants for food, shelter, medicines, textiles, and much more

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that uses the methods of, and theories from physics to
study biological systems.

Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, either unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell
colony), or acellular (lacking cells). Microbiology includes the disciplines virology, mycology, parasitology, bacteriology, and so on.

Molecular is the branch of biology that deals with the molecular basis of biological activity. This field
overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularlygenetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between the different types of DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis as well as learning how these interactions are regulated.

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their
structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.

Genetic Engineering also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an


organism's genome using biotechnology. (Indirect genetic modification through artificial selection has been practiced for centuries.) New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism.

Pharmacognosy is the study of medicines derived from natural sources. The American Society of
Pharmacognosy defines pharmacognosy as "the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources."

Pedology is the study of soils in their natural environment.[1] It is one of two main branches of soil
science, the other beingedaphology. Pedology deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, and soil classification, while edaphology studies the way soils influence plants, fungi, and other living things.

Pteridology is the study of ferns. Phycology is the study of algae. Palynology is the study of spores and pollen. Lichenology is the study of lichens.
