Book description
Phloem: Molecular Cell Biology, Systemic Communication, Biotic Interactions
is a timely collection of research on the cellular and molecular
biology of this plant vascular tissue. Recent advances in phloem
research have revealed the centrality of this plant tissue to whole
plant development and physiology. Building on advances made through
developments of new analytical technologies, this book will provide
readers with a current and comprehensive reference on the role of phloem
in plant growth and development. Collecting the work of a global team of
leading researchers, Phloem
will provide the reader with a valuable synthesis of the latest
research in a single volume.
Gary A. Thompson is the Associate Dean for Research and
Graduate Education, Director of the Pennsylvania Agricultural
Experiment Station, and Professor of Plant Sciences in the College of
Agricultural Sciences at Pennsylvania State University.
Aart J. E. van Bel is Emeritus Professor and Head of the
Department of General Botany and former Director of the Botanical
