Technological development is revolutionizing the world.

Identification of plants has always been an important and fascinating area for botanists. However, there is a decline in the prominence given to taxonomists, which has subsequently reduced the number of taxonomical experts across the globe2.

Abstract


Technological development is revolutionizing the world. There are certain aspects of plant science that have got new impetus through the advent of computers, digital photography, image analysis and many other tools. For instance, L-systems based plant modelling1, plant genomics, image analysing for anatomists, etc. are some of the outcomes of this. Identification of plants has always been an important and fascinating area for botanists. However, there is a decline in the prominence given to taxonomists, which has subsequently reduced the number of taxonomical experts across the globe2.
