Introduction of Plant Nomenclature and Binomial System.pptx

The document discusses plant nomenclature and the binomial system, outlining its origins and significance in taxonomy. It highlights the contributions of Carl Linnaeus, who established the modern naming system and the rules that govern it. Additionally, it explains the structure of scientific names, consisting of a genus and species, and reinforces the importance of binomial nomenclature in biological classification.

TAXONOMY:  taxis : arrangement and-nomia : method  The term taxonomy was coined by the Swiss botanist A.P. de Candolle  Scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on characteristics.
HISTORY OF PLANT NOMENCLATURE:  The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a ranked system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms.  A key event was Linnaeus’ adoption of binomial names for plant species in his Species Plantarum (1753).
NOMENCLATURE:  Plant nomenclature is also called as Botanical nomenclature  Scientific naming of plants. It is related to, but distinct from taxonomy  Botanical nomenclature is governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), which replaces the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN).  Another set of rules, the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) which applies to plant cultivars that have been deliberately altered or selected by humans.
BINOMIAL SYSTEM:  The scientific names of plants are usually composed of two parts: Genus name (written with an initial capital letter) and Specific epithet (written in lowercase).  Eg: Scientific name for the "Rosa canina," Rosa- genus - it includes various species of roses. canina- species - particular type of rose, known as the "dog rose."
Principal ranks in modern use  Kingdom Plantae  Phylum (division): Magnoliophyta  Class : Liliopsida  Order : Liliales  Family: Liliaceae  Genus: Lilium  Species: candidum  The binomial nomenclature simplifies the identification and organization of the vast diversity of life on Earth and remains an essential tool in the field of biology and the study of biodiversity.
