"This book contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on the Mechanisms of Sexual Reproduction in Animals and Plants, where many plant and animal reproductive biologists gathered to discuss their recent progress in investigating the shared mechanisms and factors inv…
Reproductive biology of plants
Reproductive biology is the basis of species improvement and a thorough understanding of this is needed for plant improvement, whether by conventional or biotechnological methods. This book presents an up to date and comprehensive description of reproduction in lower plants, gym…
What are the evolutionary mechanisms and ecological implications behind a pollinator choosing its favourite flower? Sixty-five million years of evolution has created the complex and integrated system which we see today and understanding the interactions involved is key to enviro…
Overzicht van de fysiologie van de bloei bij de diverse plantesoorten
This textbook describes the origin of flowers and delineates the crucial role they play in the life cycle of plants. Basic terminology is explained and the genetic approach to the determination of floral organs is introduced. On the basis of ontogeny, a morphological analysis of…
Reproductive physiology in plants
by Stewart, Philip, Globig, Sabine
fromResearch Progress in Botany
In horticulture, agriculture, and food science, plants’ reproductive physiology is an important topic relating to fruits and vegetables, the main consumable parts of plants. All aspects of plant physiology, including plants’ reproductive systems, are important to the production …
Recent studies have revealed remarkable complexity and diversity in orchid-pollinator relationships. These studies comprise a vast literature currently scattered in numerous, often obscure, journals and books. The Pollination Biology of North American Orchids brings together, fo…

Pollination and Floral Ecology is the most comprehensive single-volume reference to all aspects of pollination biology--and the first fully up-to-date resource of its kind to appear in decades. This beautifully illustrated book describes how flowers use colors, shapes, and scent…
Bees have played an important role throughout human history; from cultural traditions to medicine, bees have been interwoven into our society. They have also been scientifically studied for thousands of years as they play integral roles in both our agricultural systems and natur…
Plants typically allocate axillary meristems to one of three principal fates: growth (G), reproduction (R), or inactivity (I). The latter is commonly enforced by ‘apical dominance’, promoting a growth form that favours vertical shoot extension — mediated by the effects of auxin …
