Plant hormones play a crucial role in controlling the way in which
plants growand develop. Whilemetabolism providesthepowerand
buildingblocks for plant life, it is the hormones that regulate the
speed of growth of the individual parts and integrate these parts
to produce the form that we recognize as a plant. In addition,
theyplayacontrolling role inthe processes of reproduction. This
book is a description ofthese natural chemicals: how they are
synthesizedand metabolized; howthey work; whatwe knowoftheir
molecular biology; how we measure them; and a description ofsome
ofthe roles they play in regulating plant growth and development.
Emphasis has also been placed on the new findings on plant hormones
deriving from the expanding use ofmolecular biology as a tool to
understand these fascinating regulatory molecules. Even at the
present time, when the role of genes in regulating all aspects of
growth and development is considered of prime importance, it is
still clear that the path of development is nonetheless very much
under hormonal control, either via changes in hormone levels in
response to changes in gene transcription, or with the hormones
themselves as regulators ofgene transcription. This is not a
conference proceedings, but a selected collection ofnewly written,
integrated, illustrated reviews describing our knowledge of plant
hormones, and the experimental work that is the foundation of this
knowledge.
