The advent of the postgenome era has brought a remarkable evolution in modernplant embryology. In Plant Embryogenesis, the authors focus on the common developmental process and compile novel tools and methods designed specifically for studying plant embryogenesis. In each chapter, detailed outlines of model embryonic systems are provided, as well as cutting-edge cellular, genetic and molecular mechanisms. This important book gives insight into the methods used in studying the transformation of phylogenetically-conserved embryonic patternsinto flora’s astounding diversity of growth forms today. Invaluable to those new to the field and inspiring to full-fledged plant embryologists, Plant Embryogenesis provides today’s most comprehensive platform to the understanding ofplant embryo development. Step-by-step reproducible laboratory procedures written by the top experts in the field offering their time-tested hints, tricks,and tips. Presents detailed outlines of embryonic systems models along with cutting-edge cellular, genetic, and molecular mechanism. Provides the most comprehensive collection of protocols on plan embryo development.
