Plant development is a continuous process occurring throughout the life cycle, with similar regulatory mechanisms acting at different stages and in different parts of the plant. Rather than focussing on the life cycle, the book is structured around these underlying mechanisms, using case studies to provide students with a framework to understand the many factors, both environmental and endogenous, that combine to regulate development and gPlantsDevelopmentPlantsDevelopment.571.8/2Leyser Ottoline1500713Day Stephen1500714MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780606403321Mechanisms in plant development3727518UNINA
