Intercellular Communication in Plants: Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 16

Intercellular Communication in Plants provides an overview of intercellular signaling systems, capitalizing on the results of contemporary molecular biology. Many biological phenomena are controlled by intercellular signaling systems, initiated by messenger molecules. For example, intercellular communication channels are thought to be associated with a plant's growth and dormancy development – an important adaptive strategy for the survival and regrowth of temperate perennials. This volume is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, physiology, cell biology and molecular biology, in both the academic and industrial sectors.

Plant Architecture and Its Manipulation (Annual Plant Reviews)

Plant Architecture and Its Manipulation provides broad coverage of plant architecture and its manipulation, ranging form the architecture of the individual cell to that of the whole plant. The current high level of interest in plant architecture stems from its relevance to efficiency of form and function. Can we alter leaf or shoot architecture to achieve enhanced photosynthesis? Can we manipulate stem/leaf/root/seed weight ratios? Can we engineer root architecture to extract scarce water and nutrients form marginal agricultural lands? This volume is directed at researchers and professionals working in plant physiology, genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology.
