Molecular Organography of Plants

Zusatztext Cronk's excellent book is timely, scholarly and important, bringing together the evolution, anatomy and morphology of the major plant organs and how they develop...I would recommend this book to all botanists who need bringing up to date in this fast-moving area of research. It is an enjoyable read and excellent value at the price. Informationen zum Autor Quentin Cronk was educated at the University of Cambridge where he became a Fellow of Corpus Christi College. He subsequently taught at the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh before taking up his present position as Professor in Plant Science at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Klappentext The history of plant evolution has been one of increasing complexity. The field of "evo-devo" (evolution of development) seeks to explain this diversity by examining the evolution of the molecular and developmental processes responsible for plant form. This book surveys the structural complexity of plant form within this new framework. Zusammenfassung The history of plant evolution has been one of increasing complexity.
