Books in the Embryology of Flowering Plants series

This volume covers up-to-date notions of seed structure, processes resulting in its formation (syngamy, triple fusion) as well as of post-seminal development (seed dormancy and germination). Attention is paid to the morphological and functional aspects of the fertilization process.

This work is divided into three parts - flower, auther and ovule. The principal aim of the work is to summarize the classical and current concepts about flower generative organs, their structure and development, and about seed formation processes.
