Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Plant Reproduction [Hardcover]

Molecular aspects of flower morphogenesis for researchers and students from SEB Seminar. The book will appeal to students and researchers in floral physiology.Molecular biology techniques have considerably improved the understanding of mechanisms underlying the development of flowers. These processes can be critically important in managing the yield of agricultural crops.The book covers molecular aspects in the control of flower morphogenesis in particular species, including the role and regulation of gene expression in the gamete development and the variation in the longevity of flowers and the pattern of senescence.The book will appeal to students and researchers in floral physiology.Molecular biology techniques have considerably improved the understanding of mechanisms underlying the development of flowers.

These processes are extremely important for managing the yield of agricultural crops. The essays in this volume discuss the molecular and genetic control of flower morphogenesis in particular species as well as the role and regulation of gene expression in the development of the male and female gametes in plant reproduction. They also review the considerable variation in the longevity and pattern of senescence of flowers. The book will be of particular interest to those botanists researching floral physiology.List of contributors; 1. Introduction: 'where do we go from here?' J. Heslop-Hlƒ-
