Modern Methods of Plant Analysis When the handbook Modern Methods
of Plant Analysis was first introduced in 1954 the considerations
were: 1. the dependence of scientific progress in biology on the
improvement of existing and the introduction of new methods; 2. the
difficulty in finding many new analytical methods in specialized
journals which are normally not accessible to experimental plant
biologists; 3. the fact that in the methods sections of papers the
description of methods is frequently so compact, or even sometimes
so incomplete that it is difficult to reproduce experiments. These
considerations still stand today. The series was highly successful,
seven volumes appearing between 1956 and 1964. Since there is still
today a demand for the old series, the publisher has decided to
resume publication of Modern Methods of Plant Analysis. It is hoped
that the New Series will be just as acceptable to those working in
plant sciences and related fields as the early volumes undoubtedly
were. It is difficult to single out the major reasons for success
of any publication, but we believe that the methods published in
the first series were up-to-date at the time and presented in a way
that made description, as applied to plant material, complete in
itself with little need to consult other publications. Contributing
authors have attempted to follow these guidelines in this New
Series of volumes.
