"Plant Structu Function and Development"
We thought you would be interested to know that the classic book
"Plant Structu Function and Development" by J.A. Romberger, Z. Hejnowicz, and J.F. Hill, has just been brought back into print. Originally published in 1993 and long out of print, the book covers the developmental anatomy of large, complex plants, particularly of perennial shrubs and trees that grow and survive for decades or even centuries. The book focuses on the meaning of that anatomy as a determinant of effective function. A pervading theme is that the plant structures that have "survived" evolution within the larger context of geologic and climatic evolution are well attuned to biochemical and biophysical principles that determine and define efficient function. The book is addressed to advanced students, teachers and researchers in the broad, interrelated fields of botany, forestry, horticulture and agronomy and to others having professional interests in the culture of woody plants and the stewardship of ecosystems. It will be of special interest to those who, by study and research, seek to narrow the wide gap between the cellular and molecular biology approaches to understanding the format and content of inherited information, and the actual morphogenesis and integrated functioning of higher plant organisms. The book is focused on vegetative growth and development. Limitations of space precluded a treatment of reproductive development and of morphogenesis in fruits and seeds. The authors have included a chapter on embryogeny as the beginning of development of the individual higher plant organism. "Plant Structu Function and Development" by J.A. Romberger, Z. Hejnowicz, and J.F. Hill. ISBN 1-930665-95-4, paperback, 524 pages, $64.95 For more information, see: http://www.blackburnpress.com/plstfuandde.html Ann Herbert The Blackburn Press Publishers of classic scientific and technical books P.O.
