Product Description
In this symposium volume, an international team of contributors provides a wide ranging examination of the field of plant population ecology. This newly emerged subject area integrates ecological, genetical, physiological and morphological approaches to the study of plant populations. In doing so it provides insights into the behaviour of individual plants within populations, the distribution and abundance of `species' populations, and the interactions between populations that determine community structure. The twenty-one chapters provide a broad overview of recent developments in the subject and also point towards possible future directions for research ... Read more

Product Description
The book opens with a general overview of vesicular traffic both in animal and plant cells.This is followed by a more detailed consideration of higher plant coated vesicles, endocytosis, exocytosis, and mechanisms of vesicle traffic and transport in cells. The biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology of each is considered and particular attention is given to those specialized cell systems in which vesicle traffic is of particular importance. ...

Product Description
The many recent developments in plant sciences have important practical implications, particularly in the area of food production. This volume contains the proceedings of an international symposium on plant-pathogen interactions. Viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens are all included and a broad range of topics is covered, from expression of the cucumber mosaic virus, to the molecular genetics of bacterial blight of peas, and molecular responses of potato to infection by Phytophthora infestans. This authoritative volume presents an up-to-date review and will be of interest to all those involved in plant physiology, plant molecular biology, biotechnology, and food production. ... Read more

Product Description
The plant terpenoids exhibit enormous structural and functional diversity.They are involved in regulating plant growth, acting as accessory pigments in photosynthesis, and attracting animals to plants for pollination purposes.This is the most up-to-date work on the subject, authored by a panel of distinguished international experts.It reviews the chemistry, chemistry, chemotaxonomy, biochemistry, biosynthesis, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology of plant terpenoids.The work will interest plant and ecological biochemists, and plant scientists. ...
