Summary
This book encompasses cell division, cell expansion, and differentiation, which is the cellular basis of plant growth and development. The dynamics of cellular organelles are considered in the context of these processes. Advances in the visualization of organelles using molecular probes and confocal microscopy, along with molecular genetics, hav
