Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution
Аннотации
Recent years biological coverage in the mass media has been
dominated not by animals but by plants; specifically, by genetically modified crop
plants, the most tangible products of the recent revolution in molecular genetics.
The phenomenal economic potential of such crops (and, more recently, the environmental
and ethical issues that they raise) has promoted an exponential increase in
plant- (mostly angiosperm-) related molecular genetics and genomics research, and
that has begun to revitalise studies of plant growth and development.
