Botany is the scientific study of plants—how plants function, what they look like, how they are related to each other, where they grow, how people make use of plants, and how plants evolved..
Modern botany traces its roots back to Ancient Greece specifically to Theophrastus ( c. 371–287 BCE), a student of Aristotle who invented and described many of its principles and is widely regarded in the scientific community as the "Father of Botany"..
The origin of the word botany came from the Greek word botane, which means "grass" or "pasture." Since the original meaning focused on the idea of a pasture, it's possible the study of botany came about from herdsmen needing to know what plants were safe for their herds to eat..

DPD in a plant is an important parameter as it defines how much water a cell can take up.
For a turgid cell, DPD is zero.
Whereas, it will be highest for a plasmolyzed cell.
It is defined as the amount of pressure which must be applied in order to prevent the passage of solvent due to osmosis.
