The book is intended as a guide for molecular biology students,
equipping them to successfully study plants. It pursues a holistic
approach, viewing the whole plant as an integrated operating
organism, and is written in a straightforward manner, making it
appealing to anyone interested in plants. Further, it reflects the
latest findings for scientists and students in the fields of plant
sciences, biology, agriculture, forestry, ecology, vascular
medicine and cancer, discussing e.g. how hormonal signals induce
and regulate simple and complex patterns in plants vascular
tissues, their adaptation and evolution. * written by a
world-renowned expert who has worked in the field for 50 years *
covers the field from the initial studies conducted more than a
century ago up to recent studies with up-to-date explanations *
describes in details the structure, development, physiology and
basic molecular biology of plants' vascular tissues, their
function, regeneration and environmental adaptation * explores the
controlling mechanisms of plant vascular differentiation by
continuously moving hormonal signals and their precursors *
discusses the regulation of stem cells and cambium, control of
gradients in vascular cell size along the plant, juvenile-adult
transition and rejuvenation, grafting, mechanisms of recovery from
bending by reaction wood, evolution of vessels and fibers from
tracheids, regulation of ring-porous wood evolution, protecting
mechanisms against insects and pathogens, parasitism, plant cancer,
and more * helps readers understand the scope and breadth of plant
vascular systems in 20 detailed, high-quality chapters * includes a
wealth of outstanding original color photographs and illustrations
documenting the formation of vascular tissues * provides an
in-depth understanding of plant biology by studying their vascular
tissues
