Beskrivning

Patterns in Plant Development offers an introduction to the development of the whole plant. It is essentially a factual book that describes the complex phenomena of development in vascular plants. The point of view is structural, and emphasis is placed on the experimental approach to development. The book deals with lower vascular plants (e.g. ferns) as well as seed plants, so that the treatment of the plant, beginning with the embryo and continuing through the phase of secondary growth (the vascular cambium) is presented. The book is written so that anyone who has completed a basic first-year university course in biology or botany will be able to use it without difficulty. Sufficient background information is provided so that the reader is not required to have an extensive technical background.

"The text is well-organized and illustrated...should be useful to undergraduate and graduate students seeking to learn more about how healthy plants develop. It will also be valuable as a reference for plant pathologists who have research interests in the development of plants and to those who wish to review plant development..." Phytopathology News
