Polarity in Plants. 2004. (Annual Plant Reviews). illustr. 360 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

This volume provides an account of current research into the mechanisms by which polarity is generated at the level of the cell, organ and organism in plants, drawing especially on recent work withmodel organisms.The emphasis is on the use of the techniques of molecular genetics to dissect molecular mechanisms. Contents (partly):Polar cell growth and the cytoskeleton biology/ Mechanisms of cellpolarity establishment and polar auxin transport/ Polarity of cell walls/ Polarity in single cells: root hairs, epidermal pavement cellsand trichomes/ From polarity to pattern: early development in fucoid algae/ Polarity in Arabidopsis embryogenesis/ Polarity in floral development/ etc.
