Planning a Greenhouse
Creating a controlled environment for plant growth and development involves many variables and considerations. This
poster covers many of the elements that one should take into account and includes a labeled diagram of a basic
greenhouse.

Introduction to Fungi
Winner of the 2010 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge in the Informational
Graphics category, sponsored by the journal Science and the National Science Foundation!
This splash of fungi illustrates their variety and briefly notes their impact on our lives and our world. Fungi
provide our favorite foods and beverages, attack animal and plant species with devastating toxins, and create the
soils and nutrients for the film of life on Earth. We provide a basic scheme for classifying the main groups of
fungi, and offer information that will intrigue the student and teach the basics of fungology without an overload
of terminology.

Classification of Fruits
This poster simplifies the major fruit groups and terminology involved in botanical fruit classification. It
provides an overview and beautiful samples of fruit types, and especially clarifies the relationship between
simple, aggregate, and multiple fruits.

Specializations in Flowers
An introduction to flower terminology is necessary to begin identification of plants via their flowers. This poster
illustrates basic flower parts and shows how they become specialized within several common plant families.
Especially helpful are illustrations of grass, rush and sedge flowers.

|
Plant Modifications
This poster makes a nice companion to Specializations in Flowers. Here we illustrate both common and
unusual structures, formed from leaves, stems and roots, which plants have devised to cope with their environments.
Learn the many origins of tendrils, the difference between tubers, corms, bulbs and rhizomes, even find little
loaves of "bread" that a tree makes for its guardian ants.

Pollination and Pollinators
Flowering plants are intimately tied to wind, water, and especially animals to make seeds and complete their life
cycles. Showy flowers, big and small, owe their size, shape, perfume and color to the preferences of critters;
insects especially may share any number of blooms from different plant species. This poster illustrates the
kaleidoscopic diversity of both the flowers and their pollinators (the astute observer will note that bumblebees
love blue).

Carnivorous Plants
Snap traps, vacuums, drowning vats, flypaper and pitfalls are some of the designs used by carnivorous plants to
trap animal prey. This poster illustrates the many structures, and beauty, of the "meat-eaters" of the
botanical world.

Plant Colors
And we mean colors! The four main classes of plant pigments are described and illustrated with lovely examples. Short discussions explain how plants can
exhibit multiple colors, how leaves turn color in autumn, and why colors are important indicators of nutritional content in fruits and veggies.

Life Cycle of Arabidopsis thaliana
This is a comprehensive look at the life cycle of the "white rat" of Botany. After hunting in vain for a complete, well-illustrated schematic of
this important laboratory species, our instructors directed us to make a "Big Picture" for introductory biology students. We illustrate
gametogenesis, fertilization (including a clear picture of angiosperm double fertilization), embryogenesis, and plant growth. We even include some of the
mutants used in UW-Botany research. Teachers using Arabidopsis or other fast-maturing plants to illustrate life cycles would find this poster a must for the classroom.

The Annotated Big Bucky
This "biographical" poster recounts the events of the historic titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) bloom, as well as depicting the plant's growth stages and anatomy.

Life Cycle of the Titan Arum
What does it take to grow a corpse flower? Follow the life of an Amorphophallus titanum seedling as it cycles through vegetative and reproductive states.

The Tree of Life
The tree is based on an analysis of small subunit rRNA sequences obtained from about 3,000 species from throughout the Tree of Life. This is an
oversize (44" x 51") poster. At this size, each of the representative species are legible with the aid of a magnifying glass.
This poster is offered in cooperation with its creators, David M. Hillis, Derrick Zwickl, and Robin Gutell (University of Texas). The original
file is also available for download on their website.
