Synopsis

This volume is based on papers presented at the 1990 Society for Experimental Biology Symposium and is concerned with the molecular basis of morphogenesis and differentiation in plants. Several chapters discuss how a combined genetic and molecular approach involving the isolation and characterization of mutants, physical mapping of the genome and chromosome walking is leading to the identification and isolation of genes controlling specific developmental processes. Further chapters deal with the use of gene tagging and antisense RNA techniques. Much of this research involves Aarabidopsis because of its well known advantages for the genetic and molecular analysis of plant development. Several chapters describe progress which has been made in the identification of receptors for plant growth regulators, the investigation of cellular signalling systems and the study of DNA sequences that interact with specific DNA-binding proteins. In total, the work of approximately twenty internationally renowned laboratories is presented.
