'... contains valuable information for scientists and graduate students working in the field of plant molecular biology. The structure of each chapter is consistent and clear. The numerous figures and tables well support the text. The book contains such a wealth of actual information that it is worth the price.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 152 (1998)
