CONFERENCE ON Plant Life Through The Ages

Jointly Organized by
THE PALAEOBOTANICAL
SOCIETY
www.palaeobotanicalsociety.org
&
BIRBAL SAHNI INSTITUTE
OF PALAEOBOTANY
www.bsip.res.in
at
BIRBAL SAHNI INSTITUTE OF PALAEOBOTANY
(An autonomous institution under Deptt. of Science & Technology,
Government of India)
53 University Road, Lucknow-226007 INDIA
PREAMBLE
Prof. A. C. Seward discussed the Geological and Botanical retrospect under a book “Plant
Life Through The Ages” in the year 1931. Prof. Birbal Sahni, during the Foundation Stone
Laying Ceremony of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany (BSIP) in the year 1949,
described “Palaeobotany as the common ground between Botany and Geology - it is in fact
the botany of rocks.” The Palaeobotanical Society and BSIP after completing sixty years of
their existence, dwelt upon the crucial perspective of fundamental and functional aspects of
Botany/Palaeobotany/Geology in resonance with the competitive world of science and
decided to hold a Conference on age old title of Prof. Seward’s book “Plant Life Through
The Ages” in modern discernment.
INVITATION
The Conference Plant Life Through the Ages will be organized jointly by the Palaeobotanical
Society and Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, Lucknow. The Organizing Committee
cordially invites all the scientists to participate and present their research findings at the
Conference. Different scientific sessions of the Conference will discuss the origin, evolution,
succession and development of the flora in geologic past, their continued existence in modern
flora and their survival through modification, alteration and extinction. Since the geological
phenomenon has played a major role in plant survival, the conference will deal at length the
geological correlations vis a vis biological diversifications.
THEMES OF THE CONFERENCE
? Colonization, Development and Evolution of Early Life on Earth
? Floral Succession, Survival, Extinction and Rejuvenation in Geologic Past
? Morphology, Taxonomy and Biotechnological Advancement in Living Plants
? Palaeobotany: Systematics and Biodiversity
? Coal Forming Vegetation, Coal Types and Coal Seam Correlation
? Palaeopalynological Succession and Spatial Relationship
? Tertiary Flora and Evolution of Angiosperms
? Quaternary Vegetation and Forest History
? Micropalaeontology and its application in Hydrocarbon Exploration
? Biostratigraphy and Relative Sea Level Changes
? Phytogeography and Environmental Impact of Plants
? Microbial and insect interaction in plants

? Geological and Biological factors responsible for Ecosystem Dynamics
? Relevance of Palaeobotany in modern context
