Klappentext Molecular aspects of flower morphogenesis for researchers and students from SEB Seminar. The book will appeal to students and researchers in floral physiology. Zusammenfassung The book covers molecular aspects in the control of flower morphogenesis in particular species! including the role and regulation of gene expression in the gamete development and the variation in the longevity of flowers and the pattern of senescence. The book will appeal to students and researchers in floral physiology. Inhaltsverzeichnis List of contributors; 1. Introduction: 'where do we go from here?' J. Heslop-Harrison; 2.
