Atlas of Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants [Paperback]

Comprising about one hundred plates this atlas documents anddescribes the processes concerning the sexual reproductionin higher plants. It is dividedinto three parts:- Anther Development- Pistil Development- Progamic Phase and Fertilization.The scanning, transmission electron and light micrographsare all of immaculate quality and - for the viewer'sorientation - almost each plate is complemented by a schemeshowing a larger area of the plant indicating the site ofthe section.Together with instructive texts, the often striking imagesprovide a valuable introduction into plant reproductive cellstructures for researchers and advanced students ofgenetics, plantbreeding and cell biology.Comprising about one hundred plates this atlas documents anddescribes the processes concerning the sexual reproductionin higher plants.
