Reihe: Annual Plant Reviews

Cell separation is an important process that occurs throughout thelife cycle of a plant. It enables the radicle to emerge from thegerminating seed, vascular tissue to differentiate, sculpturing ofleaves and flowers to take place, pollen to be shed from the matureanther, fruit to soften, senescent and non-functional organs to belost, and seeds to be shed. In addition to its intrinsic scientificinterest, many of the developmental processes to which itcontributes have importance for agriculture and horticulture.
This is the first volume to focus exclusively on these processesand to link improvements in our scientific understanding withmethods that may allow us to manipulate cell separation andadhesion to the benefit of the agricultural and horticulturalindustries. It will therefore be of interest to the experimentalscientist and to those who wish to apply these techniquescommercially.
