Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Plant Reproduction

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.Scott, R.
