While there are a few plant cell biology books that are currently
available, these are expensive, methods-oriented monographs. The
present volume is a textbook for "upper" undergraduate and
beginning graduate students." This textbook stresses concepts and
is inquiry-oriented. To this end, there is extensive use of
original research literature. As we live in an era of literature
explosion, one must be selective. These judgements will naturally
vary with each investigator. Input was sought from colleagues in
deciding the literature to include. In addition to provision of
select research literature, this volume presents citations and
summaries of certain laboratory methods. In this connection, the
textbook stresses quantitative data to enhance the student?s
analytical abilities. Thus the volume contains computer-spread
sheets and references to statistical packages, e.g. Harvard
Graphics and Statistica.
Biological Environmental Science is an introductory textbook for
undergraduate students who desire a one semester course or,
alternatively, a 'springboard course for advanced environmental
offerings. This book features timely issues such as global warming,
air, ground and water pollutions, population growth, species
extinction and environmental policy. Unique features of this book
include the use of research data and literature, copious
illustrations and appendices for the scientific method.
Modern plant science research currently integrates biochemistry and
molecular biology. This book highlights recent trends in plant
biotechnology and molecular genetics, serving as a working manual
for scientists in academic, industrial, and federal laboratories. A
wide variety of authors have contributed to this book, reflecting
the thinking and expertise of active investigators who generate
advances in technology. The authors were selected especially for
their ability to create and/or implement novel research methods.

This volume, unlike the three preceding it, represents the
collected papers from an experiment with an "electronic symposium."
Co-participators in this symposium included The George Washington
University, The Smithsonian Institution, Clark Atlanta University,
the Agriculture Research Service of the United States Department of
Agriculture, The University of Georgia, Morris Brown College,
Spellman College, Morehouse College, North Carolina State
University at Raleigh, The United States Food and Drug
Administration, and the Forest Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture among others. This unusual "electronic
symposium" concept was developed by members of the Program,
Planning and Organizing Committee as an alternative to the more
costly convention-type symposium. As before, leading scientists in
specific topic areas were invited to participate. Topic Session
chairpersons were encouraged to arrange their own method of
communication by telephone, electronic mail, or conference call,
and report their findings back to the symposium center at The
George Washington University. Additional papers were accepted from
individuals and laboratories who are actively involved in relevant
areas of research and study. Participation was also arranged for
internationally established scientists. International authors are
represented herein from Nigeria, Italy, Spain, Brazil and
Argentina. Our goal was to present a research composite volume that
reflected current developments, informed reviews, new and recently
developing areas of the present state of knowledge as it relates to
these proceeding topics. All of the reports included in this volume
have undergone scientific, technical and editorial peer review.
Hands-on experimentalists describe the cutting-edge microscopical
methods needed for the effective study of plant cell biology today.
These powerful techniques, all described in great detail to ensure
successful experimental results, range from light microscope
cytochemistry, autoradiography, and immunocytochemistry, to recent
developments in fluorescence, confocal, and dark-field
microscopies. Important advances in both conventional and scanning
electron microscopies are also fully developed, together with such
state-of-the-art ancillary techniques as high-resolution
autoradiography, immunoelectron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis,
and electron systems imaging. Easy-to-use and up-to-date, Methods
in Plant Electron Microscopy and Cytochemistry offers today's plant
scientists a first class collection of readily reproducible light
and electron microscopical methods that will prove the new standard
for all working in the field.
