Synopsis

This is an exciting period in plant biology as many disciplines, such as genetics and biochemistry, are merging to provide a more detailed understanding of plant growth and development. The purpose of this meeting was to provide a sampling of some of this exciting work in the area of cellular communication and signal transduction. R. M.

Synopsis

Reversible inhibition of tomato fruit ripening by antisense ACC synthase RNA, the role of salicylic acid as a plant signal molecule, and blue-light regulated gene expression are among the topics discussed in 19 papers from a symposium in Madison, WI, June 1992. About 40 abstracts of talks and poster papers are also included. The new advances report
