Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 16

Intercellular communication in plants plays a vital role in the
co-ordination of processes leading to the formation of a functional
organism. The signalling systems must function at a local level to
co-ordinate events of cellular differentiation, over long distances
to co-ordinate developmental and physiological responses in
different parts of the plant, and they must even operate between
separate individuals - for example, to control fertilization as
part of the evolutionary strategy of a particular species. To cope
with the diverse requirements for intercellular signalling, plants
have evolved a spectrum of molecular mechanisms, and significant
progress has been made over the last few years in our understanding
of these processes.

This volume provides an overview of our current understanding of
intercellular communication in plants, with an emphasis on those
research areas showing significant recent progress and promise. It
is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry,
physiology, cell biology and molecular biology.
