 | | Because civilization rests in part on a knowledge of plants and their cultivation, botany can be said to have originated with the first cultivation of crops, which may date from 9000-7000 bc. | | | Indeed, modern botany began to develop only about the 16th century, at least in part because of the invention of the microscope (1590) and of printing with movable type (1440). | | | Nevertheless, paleobotany, the study of fossil plants, has contributed greatly to the overall understanding of the evolution of the major groups of plants and especially to understanding of the interrelationships among the classes of seed plants. |

| | Botany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Not all plants are beneficial to humans, weeds are a considerable problem in agriculture and botany provides some of the basic science in order to understand how to minimise their impact. | | | Understanding how plants produce the food we eat is therefore important to be able to feed the world and provide food security for future generations, for example through plant breeding. | | | Nearly all the food we eat comes (directly and indirectly) from plants like this American long grain rice. |

| | Handbook - Department of Botany, UW-Madison |
| | Today the University of Wisconsin Herbarium is among the largest in the country, and is an important center for research on the systematics of temperate and tropical plants, especially of the New World. | | | In those early days, botany was taught by the "Professor of Chemistry and Natural History." Botany later evolved as part of a composite department - Agriculture and Botany - and finally as the Department of Botany in the College of Letters and Science. | | | The University Herbarium was started even before there was a Botany Department, when the Regents first began their meetings. |
