Seeds: Physiology of Development and Germination by J. Derek Bewley

By J. Derek Bewley

Since the e-book of our monograph on seed body structure and biochemistry (The body structure and Biochemistry of Seeds in terms of Germination, Sprin­ ger-Verlag, 1978, 1982), it's been steered to us textual content masking a similar topic region will be acceptable. This publication is our reaction. in contrast to the former volumes, notwithstanding, this article isn't meant to be both a severe or a finished account. as a substitute it's a extra generalized attention of the fundamental points of seed body structure and biochemistry as we see them. additionally it is an excessive amount of new and varied fabric. In a piece of this kind it truly is inevitable that a few simplifications has to be made, yet we are hoping, by no means­ theless, that we've got provided the main average conspectus of components of con­ troversy and uncertainty. during this admire, literature citations were stored to a minimal and don't interrupt the textual content; they're put on the finish of every bankruptcy and are meant for use as a resource for additional references. we are hoping that this publication could be of price to scholars and lecturers in uni­ versities, schools, and different institutes of upper studying whose classes contain plant biology. even though it is very applicable for reviews of seed biol­ ogy, it's going to additionally locate broader purposes mostly plant body structure, agri­ tradition, and horticulture.
