First attempts to isolate plant genes were for those genes that are
abun dantly expressed in a particular plant organ at a specific
stage of devel opment. However, many important gene products are
produced in a very minute quantity and in specialized cell types.
Such genes can now be isolated using a variety of approaches, some
of which are described in this volume. The rapid progress during
the last decade in regeneration of a number of crop plants and the
availability of molecular tools to introduce foreign genes in
plants is allowing the engineering of specific traits of agri
cultural importance. These genes must, however, be regulated in a
spatial and temporal manner in order to have desired effects on
plant devel opment and productivity. The habitat of plants
necessitate adaptive responses with respect to the environmental
changes. Starting from germination of the seed, the plant begins to
sense environmental cues such as moisture, light, temperature and
the presence of pathogens, and begins to respond to them. Little is
known about various signal transduction pathways that lead to
biochemical and morphogenetic responses, in particular, transition
from vegetative to reproductive phase. With the availability of
tools to generate specific mutations via transposon tagging,
identification and isolation of genes affecting these processes may
be facilitated. Transfer of these genes into heterologous
environments will allow understanding of the complex processes that
control plant development."
