A benchmark text, Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. It reflects the increasing cooperation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology, and evolutionary morphogenetists and systematists who are more deeply rooted in comparative biology and patterns of plant evolution.
The book discusses our increasing understanding of gene function and expression, along with modern phylogenies. It integrates morphological and...

This text integrates the revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. There is increasing co-operation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology, and evolutionary morphogenetists and systematics who are more deeply rooted in comparative biology and patterns of plant evolution. This book discusses our increasing understanding of gene function and expression, along with modern phylogenies integrating morphological and molecular data to highlight specific key transitions in plant evolution most...
