Perspectives in Plant Cell Recognition presents a review of recent
advances in understanding the cellular, molecular and genetic
mechanisms governing cell-cell interactions in plants. In the case
of the interaction between different cells of the same plant, most
progress has been made in the study of gametes during sexual
reproduction and the volume begins by considering this topic.
Exciting progress in the study of associations between somatic
cells crucial to coordinated tissue development is also reported.
Interactions between plant cells and cells of other organisms are
then represented by consideration of plant pathogenesis and
examples of mutual symbiosis; the study of both of these areas has
yielded significant information about this category of interaction.
In particular, the Rhizobium/legume symbiosis has been studied
extensively and the genes controlling the specificity of the
interaction and involved in creating a harmonious mutualism have
been cloned and their products identified.
