Hormones, Signals and Target Cells in Plant Development

Klappentext Describes novel conceptual framework for plant development based on target cell responses to chemical signals. Zusammenfassung This treatise! aimed at researchers in plant developmental biology! discusses how each cell has the ability to discriminate between different chemical signals! determining which it will respond to and which it will ignore. These chemical signals shape the differentiation of that cell and the plant as a whole. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Hormones and signals; 3.
