Molecular biology techniques have considerably increased our
understanding of mechanisms underlying the control of flower
initiation, development, function and senescence, processes which
can be critically important in managing the yield of agricultural
crops. The book covers the molecular and genetic control of flower
morphogenesis in particular species and discusses the role and
regulation of gene expression in the development, together with
action of the male and female gametes in plant reproduction. The
considerable variation in longevity of flowers and pattern of
senescence are reviewed. The importance of ethylene in the control
mechanism is discussed using examples of both ethylene-sensitive
and insensitive species. The book will be vital to those
researching floral physiology, and a useful reference for
undergraduates studying relevant botanical courses.
