Fruit development and seed dispersal are major topics within plant and crop sciences research with important developments in research being reported regularly.
Taking an approach commencing with carpel evolution, development of the Arabidopsis gynoecium, and ovule development, further topics reviewed include fertilisation and fruit initiation, Arabidopsis fruit development and long distance seed dispersa. This latest volume in Annual Plant Reviews then concludes with cutting edge reviews of seed dispersal and domestication, tomato fruit ripening and parthenocarpy in crops.
Drawing together reviews by some of the world's leading experts in these areas, the Editor of this volume, Lars Ostergaard has provided a volume which is an essential purchase for all those working in plant and crop sciences worldwide. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences, crop sciences and plant sciences are studied and taught should have this important volume on their shelves.
