Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 12
A fundamental feature of developmental biology is that of theestablishment of polarity. It can be described at different levels- polarity of the organism, polarity in tissue patterning and organdevelopment, and polarity of the cell.
This volume provides an account of current research into themechanisms by which polarity is generated at the level of the cell,organ and organism in plants, drawing especially on recent workwith model organisms.The emphasis is on the use of the techniquesof molecular genetics to dissect molecular mechanisms.
This is the first volume to bring together the diverse aspectsof polarity in plant development. It is directed at researchers andprofessionals in plant developmental biology, cell biology andmolecular biology.
