Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, Biotic Interactions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Phloem has long been recognized for its importance in long-distance transport needed for successful plant growth and development. The advent of new molecular biological methods combined with improved imaging technologies have revolutionized our view of phloem and served as a catalyst to novel phloem research. Phloem: Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, Biotic Interactions provides an integrative synthesis of our current understanding of this tissue vital to plant development and survival. Phloem: Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, Biotic Interactions divides its contents into four logical sections. The first section provides a broad overview of phloem biology that will serve as a contextual framework for subsequent sections. The second section looks at the structural and functional components of sieve elements, the sievetube modules. The following sections explore the integral part phloem plays in a variety of long-distance communications that occur within plants. The final section reviews the developing body of research looking at the role of phloem in plant biotic interactions. Providing wide-ranging coverage of the diverse advances in the field of phloem biology and physiology, Phloem: Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, Biotic Interactions, is an essential reference for anyone interested in the multi-faceted function of this unique plant tissue.
