The Evolution of Plant Form is an exceptional new volume in
Wiley-Blackwell’s highly successful and well established
Annual Plant Reviews.
Written by recognised and respected researchers, this book
delivers a comprehensive guide to the diverse range of scientific
perspectives in land plant evolution, from morphological evolution
to the studies of the mechanisms of evolutionary change and the
tools with which they can be studied. This title distinguishes
itself from others in plant evolution through its synthesis of
these ideas, which then provides a framework for future studies and
exciting new developments in this
field.
The first chapter explores the origins of the major
morphological innovations in land plants and the following chapters
provide an exciting, in depth analysis of the morphological
evolution
of land plant groups including bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns,
gymnosperms and angiosperms. The second half of the book focuses on
evolutionary studies in land plants including genomics,
adaptation, development and phenotypic plasticity. The final
chapter provides a summary and perspective for future studies in
the evolution of plant form.
The Evolution of Plant Form provides essential information for
plant scientists and evolutionary biologists. All libraries and
research establishments, where biological and agricultural sciences
are
studied and taught, will find this important work a vital addition
to their shelves.
