Infos

Phloem: Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, Biotic
Interactions is a timely collection of research on the
cellular and molecular biology of this plant vascular tissue.
Recent advances in phloem research have revealed the centrality of
this plant tissue to whole plant development and physiology.
Building on advances made through developments of new analytical
technologies, this book will provide readers with a current and
comprehensive reference on the role of phloem in plant growth and
development. Collecting the work of a global team of leading
researchers, Phloem will provide the reader with a
valuable synthesis of the latest research in a single volume.
