During the last two decades the modern techniques of
histochemistry, electron microscopy, plant physiology,
biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, immunology, and genetics
have been applied to investigate the intricacies of the processes
involved in embryo formation, and considerable new information has
been generated. A better understanding of these processes has
enhanced our capacity to manipulate fertilization and embryo
development. This has changed the face of the embryology of
angiosperms from a descriptive science to an experimental and
applied science. The revolutionary progress made in this
fascinating field of sexual reproduction was the motivation to
prepare this volume. It includes 21 chapters written by experts who
have made substantial contributions to their respective fields. It
covers all aspects of the embryology of angiosperms, ranging from
development, isolation, and structure of male and female gametes,
their fusion in vivo and in vitro, and structure, physiology, and
genetics of zygotic embryogenesis, to endosperm and seed
development. Advances in somatic embryogenesis, synthetic seed
technology and regeneration of haploid plants from male and female
gametophytes are discussed. Other important topics covered in this
volume are sexual incompatibility, parthenocarpy, and apomixis. The
last chapter deals with the embryological perspective of
inheritance of extra-nuclear genes. All the chapters contain
up-to-date information and are profusely illustrated. Graduate and
postgraduate students, teachers, and scientists of botany and other
areas of plant sciences will find this book extremely useful.
