Synopsis

Recent advances in gene transfer and plant regulation technologies have greatly increased understanding of plant development at the molecular level. These advances include the isolation and examination of many different types of developmentally regulated plant genes. However, despite this understanding of the mechanisms governing plant gene expression, many of the underlying cellular and molecular processes that control plant development remain obscure. This book authoritatively covers all aspects of plant development, bringing together developmental and molecular biologists working in a variety of areas and resulting in improved communication among researchers. Topics covered include: a biochemical switch model for heritable variation in cytokinin requirement; molecular aspects of self-incompatability; zein gene expression during maize endosperm development; isolation of genes controlling floral initiation in tobacco; control of the expression of wheat embryo genes by abscisic acid; glutamine synthetase: molecular evolution of an eclectic multi-gene family.
