Description
This book presents an overview of the role of meristematic tissues in plant growth and development, with an emphasis on advances of the last decade. It examines meristematic tissues as a defined, independent tissue type in plants and gives consideration to their origin, maintenance, and function. The editors pay particular attention to the molecular mechanisms underlying meristem formation and maintenance. This volume is a tremendously valuable resource for plant geneticists, developmental biologists, and molecular biologists.
