Jordan, Brian R. (ed.)
The Molecular Biology of Flowering. 1993. 1 col. frontispiece. figs. tabs. X, 226 p.. Hardcover.
The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is one of themost important developmental changes in plants. Although the physiologyof the process has been well documented, the molecular basis has onlyrecently begun to be determined. This book reviews our currentknowledge of the molecular biology and genetics of flowering, a subjectthat is rapidly being recognized for both its fundamental importance andits biotechnological exploitation. It will interest research workersand advanced students in plant genetics and plant molecular biology.
