Botany, the study of plants, has a long historical development dating back to ancient civilizations such as India, Egypt, and Iran. Theophrastus and Pedanius Dioscorides made significant contributions to the field. In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus established a standardized naming scheme for plant species. Advancements in techniques and tools, including microscopy and molecular genetics, have revolutionized the study of plants. Botanists research various topics such as plant structure, reproduction, diseases, and taxonomy. The applications of botany are wide-ranging, including agriculture, horticulture, and environmental management. Plants are vital for the existence of humans and other organisms as they produce oxygen and provide food and energy.
