Plants exhibit forms of asymmetry analogous to "handedness" in
bilaterally symmetrical animals. This book explores the
evolutionary significance and development of asymmetry. Examples of
genetic control include the direction of tendril or stem coiling of
many climbing plants; the so-called spiral phyllotaxy and floral
taxy; and contorted petal arrangement is another kind of left-
right symmetry in plants; the direction of contortion is fixed in
some but not in other plants. The book will underscore tha all
phenomena related to handedness start during embryogenesis itself,
with the occurrence of embryo rotation. Key selling features: First
consolidated book on Plant Handedness Relates handedness, asymmetry
and chirality to the evolution of different organizational levels
in plant biology Emphasizes handedness as a vital governing force
in plant functional evolution Provides a new perspective, hitherto
ignored, into plant developemtn and evolution Describes how an
age-old phenomenon can give scope for investigation from a very
modern interdisciplinary approach
