Meristematic cells in plants (as with stem cells in animals) become
the many different types of cells found in a mature plant. This is
achieved by a selective response to chemical signals both from
neighbouring cells and distant tissues. It is these responses that
shape the plant, its time of flowering, the sex of its flowers, its
length of survival or progress to senescence and death. How do
plants achieve this? This up-to-date treatise addresses this
question using well-chosen examples to illustrate the concept of
target cells. The authors discuss how each cell has the ability to
discriminate between different chemical signals, determining which
it will respond to and which it will ignore. The regulation of gene
expression through signal perception and signal transduction is at
the core of this selectivity and the Target Cell concept. This
volume will serve as a valuable reference for all researchers
working in the field of plant developmental biology.
