Opis

Integrates molecular genetics with comparative morphology to give a comprehensive view of the evolution of plant development.

Recenzje

'… this book is a valuable journey through the generalities of plant evo-devo with an added insight from an animal perspective … By bringing his zoological experience into the plant scenario, Minelli shows that communication between different evo-devo branches not only is useful and beneficial to encourage new research questions and experimental programs, but also that is necessary for gaining a better understanding of evolutionary processes.'
