Description
Since the publication of the first edition of this book there have been enormous advances in certain areas of the subject, particularly those which are amenable to study using the techniques and approaches of molecular biology and mutant technology. This is especially apparent with respect to seed development, effects of abscisic acid and gibberellin on gene expression and certain aspects of dormancy. Sections of the book dealing with these topics have been extensively revised, to incorporate new information and concepts. In one case-seed development-it has been necessary to allocate two chapters to the subject, to separate reserve synthesis and its regulation from the more developmental aspects of embryogenesis and seed maturation. As in the previous edition, we have been mindful throughout of placing our discussion and considerations firmly in the context of the seed, and where new knowledge at the molecular level is included we have attempted always to emphasize its special relevance to seed biology.
