Phloem: Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, BioticInteractions is a timely collection of research on thecellular and molecular biology of this plant vascular tissue.Recent advances in phloem research have revealed the centrality ofthis plant tissue to whole plant development and physiology.Building on advances made through developments of new analyticaltechnologies, this book will provide readers with a current andcomprehensive reference on the role of phloem in plant growth anddevelopment. Collecting the work of a global team of leadingresearchers, Phloem will provide the reader with avaluable synthesis of the latest research in a single volume.
