Cell separation is an important process that occurs throughout the
life cycle of a plant. It enables the radicle to emerge from the
germinating seed, vascular tissue to differentiate, sculpturing of
leaves and flowers to take place, pollen to be shed from the mature
anther, fruit to soften, senescent and non-functional organs to be
lost, and seeds to be shed. In addition to its intrinsic scientific
interest, many of the developmental processes to which it
contributes have importance for agriculture and horticulture.
This is the first volume to focus exclusively on these processes
and to link improvements in our scientific understanding with
methods that may allow us to manipulate cell separation and
adhesion to the benefit of the agricultural and horticultural
industries. It will therefore be of interest to the experimental
scientist and to those who wish to apply these techniques
commercially.
