'As with its predecessors this symposium gave an excellent review of the current work, most of which will influence agricultural in the future. Those institutes and universities concerned with agriculture will find this well-produced volume a useful library acquisition.' J.D. Ross, Botanical Journal of the Linnan Society, 1989
