About this title

Synopsis

The topic of fruit and seed production is given a broad and comprehensive treatment, with chapters covering the onset of flowering through to the development and growth of fruits and seeds, and finally to ecological and evolutionary aspects of fruiting.

Book Description

Flowering and fruiting are key processes in the biology of higher plants, ensuring the transfer of genetic material from one generation to the next. This topic has received relatively little attention until now compared with studies on the growth and development of vegetative structures. This book addresses this deficiency.
