molecular biology and biotechnology of flowering
x, 404 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm.
Provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms associated with flowering. This book explores three main themes: the external and internal regulation of flowering, floral development, and fertilisation and gametophyte development, and also includes chapters on the evolution of flowers, floral senescence and apomixis.
