Bøger i Annual Plant Reviews serien

* A comprehensive and contemporary overview of the life cycle of a seed * Includes coverage of the tools used to analyse seed dormancy and germination behaviour * Chapter authors are from major international laboratories.

A broad overview of one of the most fashionable current topics in plant science Highlights the ways in which proteome analysis has been used to probe the complexities of plant biochemistry and physiology Chapters are organised by biological function.

Introduces new perspectives by considering hormone metabolism and signal transduction together Chapters on specific developmental processes include integration of signalling pathways Particular attention is paid to the regulation of hormone signaling by environmental and developmental cues.

Broad coverage of a topical area Considers the fundamental aspects of inflorescence and flower development and their genetic control Chapters are included on plant scent, colour and senescence -- important aspects of plant biotechnology.

Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 12 A fundamental feature of developmental biology is that of the establishment of polarity. It can be described at different levels - polarity of the organism, polarity in tissue patterning and organ development, and polarity of the cell.

Focuses on the pathways of plant primary metabolism and their control Emphasises the multi--layers of control -- from transcriptional, through to translational and post--translational Takes account of the impact of genomics and proteomics on the subject.

With the discovery of RNAi pathways and the histone code, epigenetics has become a popular and fast evolving research topic. Plant science has made a number of elementary contributions to this field, and the common elements of epigenetic systems have linked research groups interested in plant, fungal and animal systems.

Our knowledge of the circadian clock in plants has advanced considerably in recent years and we now have a clearer view of the biochemical processes making up its mechanism. Recent work provides insight into the central role played by the circadian system in the regulation of many aspects of metabolism.
