Books in the Advances in Botanical Research series

Advances in Botanical Research is a multi-volume publication that brings together reviews by recognized experts on subjects of importance to those involved in botanical research. First published in 1963, Advances in Botanical Research has earned a reputation for excellence in the field for more tha

Reviews the various aspects of plant genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and ecology. This title is suitable for postgraduates and researchers alike.

Presents a series of papers focused on the developmental genetics of flowering as well as the genetic control of the timing of flowering. This work discusses investigation of speciational mechanisms, evolutionary relationships, and character evolution in flowering plants and land plants utilizing a variety of experimental approaches.

Abscisic Acid in Plants, Volume 92, the latest release in the Advances in Botanical Research series, is a compilation of the current state-of-the-art on the topic. Chapters in this new release comprehensively describe latest knowledge on how ABA functions as a plant hormone. They cover topics related to molecular mechanisms as well as the biochemical and chemical aspects of ABA action: hormone biosynthesis, catabolism, transport, perception, signaling in plants, seeds and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses, hormone evolution and chemical biology, and much more.Presents the latest release in the Advances in Botanical Research seriesProvides an Ideal resource for post-graduates and researchers in the plant sciences, including plant physiology, plant genetics, plant biochemistry, plant pathology, and plant evolutionContains contributions from internationally recognized authorities in their respective fields

Most viruses that infect plants need an intermediary (vector) for their spread between plants. This book describes, for the main vector groups, the state of knowledge of what happens to viruses in their passage through their vectors and what interactions within the vector determine whether or not they are passed on to new plants.

This collection on botanical research, incorporating "Advances in Plant Pathology", includes reviews on plant pathology with topics ranging from defence responses of plants to pathogens, to implications of population pressure on agriculture and ecosystems.
