This is the third annual compendium of a Technical Session of the
Physiology Working Group of the Society of American Foresters held
at the National Convention. Specialists in a dedicated area of tree
physiology were invited to prepare chapter contributions
synthesizing the status of knowledge in their area of expertise.
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) was selected as the topic for
in-depth examination at the 1986 Technical Session because a
knowledge of how these "secondary messengers" regulate tree
morphogenesis is vital to applications of biocontrol and
biotechnology. Plant growth regulators have been the subject of
numerous reviews in recent years. However, few have dealt
specifically with woody perennials, and they are generally confined
to single processes and/or organs. This volume attempts to provide
a more comprehensive treatise of PGRs as they influence various
ontogenetic events in forest trees. Reproductive physiology, both
sexual and asexual, is emphasized because of its relevance to
current efforts directed at increasing efficiency in the breeding
and production of genetically improved trees for reforestation. The
chapters on vegetative growth will be of interest to
silviculturists and urban foresters as they consider cultural
treatments in the management of forests and individual trees for
specific products and purposes. This book should serve as a
valuable text and source of reference for students, researchers and
other professionals interested in gaining a better understanding of
PGRs. The reader, however, who expects definitive answers to how
PGRs function or can be used to control specific processes is
likely to be disappointed.
