Developmental Genetics of the Flower cover

Excellent reviews of our current fast moving area of research in botany.

Presents a series of papers focused on the developmental genetics of flowering as well as the genetic control of the timing of flowering. This work discusses investigation of speciational mechanisms, evolutionary relationships, and character evolution in flowering plants and land plants utilizing a variety of experimental approaches.Current major interests in this area include the study of higher level phylogenetic relationships and character evolution in the angiosperms, floral evolution, the genetic basis of key floral differences in basal angiosperms, the genetic and genomic consequences of polyploid speciation, conservation genetics of rare plant species, and phylogeography.
