Currently in its 41st volume, the series features a wide range of
reviews by recognized experts on all aspects of plant genetics,
biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and

topics of interest to post-graduates and researchers alike.
Advances in Botanical Research is a multi-volume publication that
brings together reviews by recognized experts on subjects of
importance to those involved in botanical research. First published
in 1963, Advances in Botanical Research has earned a reputation for
excellence in the field for more than thirty years. In 1995,
Advances in Botanical Research was merged with Advances in Plant
Pathology to provide one comprehensive resource for the plant
science community, with equal coverage of plant pathology and
botany in both thematic and mixed volumes.

Now edited by J.A. Callow (University of Birmingham, UK), supported
by an international Editorial Board, Advances in Botanical Research
publishes in-depth and up-to-date reviews on a wide range of topics
which will appeal to post-graduates and researchers in plant
sciences including botany, plant biochemistry, plant pathology and
plant physiology. Eclectic volumes in the serial are supplemented
by thematic volumes on such topics as "Plant Protein Kinases," and
"Plant Trichomes."
In 1999, the Institute for Scientific Information released figures
showing that Advances in Botanical Research has an Impact Factor of
4.378, placing it 8th in the highly competitive category of Plant
Sciences.
The aerial surfaces of many plant species are covered in hairs
(trichomes). Their utility as model systems to understand
cell-to-cell movement and cell differentiation, as well as their
potential utility in biotechnology, has generated renewed interest
in these structures. In this volume, plant scientists from diverse
backgrounds present reviews which summarise current understanding
of these structures. Their ultrastructure, biochemistry,
differentiation and development, as well as their physiological and
ecological roles, are discussed.
Advances in Botanical Research is a multi-volume publication that
brings together reviews by recognized experts on subjects of
importance to those involved in botanical research. For more than
thirty years, Advances in Botanical Research has earned a
reputation for excellence in the field. For those working on plant
pathology, Advances in Plant Pathology has also carved a niche in
the plant sciences during its decade of publication.
Academic Press has merged Advances in Plant Pathology into Advances
in Botanical Research. The plant science community will find that
the merger of these two serials will provide one comprehensive
resource for the field. To ensure complete coverage, John Andrews
and Inez Tommerup, the editors of Advances in Plant Pathology, have
joined the editorial board of the new series, which will include
equal coverage of plant pathology and botany in both thematic and
mixed volumes. The first fewvolumes of the new series will be
slanted toward botany or plant pathology; however, future eclectic
volumes will be fully integrated.
The resulting synergy of these two serials greatly benefits the
plant science community by providing a more comprehensive resource
under one roof. The joint aim is to continue to include the very
best articles, thereby maintaining the status of a high impact
factor review series.
The twenty-first volume in the series focuses on plant pathology
and is the first to integrate Advances in Plant Pathology into
Advances in Botanical Research. The articles represented strive
both to draw insights from relevant biological disciplines into the
realm of plant pathology and to reveal the general principles of
plant pathology to the broad audience of biologists, including
undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and
teachers.
Kombrink and Somssich address how plant pathogens communicate at
the genetic and biochemical level in determining resistance or
susceptibility. This general theme is continued in articles on the
nature of fungal wilt diseases (Beckman and Roberts); plant virus
infection (de Zoeten); and the gene-for-gene interactions between
plants and fungi (de Wit). Ehrlich takes up the timely issue of how
pressure to expand and intensify agriculture is influencing
agroecosystems and natural ecosystems on a global scale. The
current status and future prospects of chestnuts, in health and
disease, is considered by Anagnostakis. In an article on
phytoplasmas, Kirkpatrick and Smart review the recent application
of molecular techniques to the inference of taxonomic and
phylogenetic relationships among mycoplasma-like organisms. To
conclude the volume, Savary and colleagues show how a form of
systems analysis can be used to handle large and complex data sets
in epidemology.
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.
