Does botany belong to agronomy?

Botany is not an agronomy major, but a comprehensive science that studies plant morphological anatomy, growth and development, physiological ecology, systematic evolution, classification and the relationship with human beings. It is a branch of biology.

Its main branches are plant taxonomy, plant morphology, plant anatomy, plant embryology, plant physiology, plant ecology, plant pathology, plant geography and so on. The purpose is to develop, utilize, transform and protect plant resources so that plants can provide more food, fiber, medicine and building materials for human beings.

3. Have a healthy body and good psychological quality.

Second, the research direction

1, mycorrhizal biology and biotechnology: this direction combines theory with practice, actively carries out interdisciplinary research, and focuses on theoretical and applied research on the relationship between plants and microorganisms.

* * * relationship mainly studies the diversity and ecological distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in terrestrial ecosystems, as well as the mechanism and application of mycorrhizal fungi in vegetation restoration and plant growth and development; The relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal growth and the growth of authentic Chinese herbal medicines and the metabolism of effective components: the research and development of mycorrhizal biotechnology.

2. Plant diversity and systematic evolution: This direction studies the systematic classification and evolutionary biology of different plant groups at the level of species diversity and genetic diversity, and uses the techniques and methods of palynology, phytochemistry, cytogenetics and molecular biology to deeply explore the genetic relationship and phylogenetic status among plant groups.

It provides a basis for the establishment of natural classification system and the sustainable utilization of resources. Focus on the collection, preservation, systematic evolution and sustainable utilization of angiosperm germplasm resources such as Leguminosae and Compositae.

3. Sustainable utilization of authentic Chinese herbal medicine resources: Based on medicinal botany and modern Chinese herbal medicine technology, this direction carries out research on the protection of authentic Chinese herbal medicine germplasm resources, regulation of nutritional metabolism, detection and evaluation of effective components, and environmental transformation in Hebei Province. Combined with related disciplines, it will serve the rational development and sustainable utilization of medicinal plant resources in China, especially in Hebei Province, and the development of modern Chinese herbal medicine technology system.
