The mission of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is "exploring and explaining the world of plants for a better future" and we seek to fulfil this aim with respect to diatoms.
On these pages we provide:
- an introduction to our research programmes
- images and information about type specimens
- images supporting morphometric separation of Sellaphora species, relating to
Mann et al. (2004)
- images supporting morphometric separation of Diploneis species, relating to
Droop et al. (2000)
- images supporting chromosome counts in Amphora
- drawings made during observations of living cells and auxosporulation
- images and data on meiosis and auxosporulation in diatoms
