Plant Architecture and Its Manipulation

Plant Architecture and Its Manipulation provides broad coverage of plant architecture and its manipulation, ranging form the architecture of the individual cell to that of the whole plant. The current high level of interest in plant architecture stems from its relevance to efficiency of form and function. Can we alter leaf or shoot architecture to achieve enhanced photosynthesis? Can we manipulate stem/leaf/root/seed weight ratios? Can we engineer root architecture to extract scarce water and nutrients form marginal agricultural lands? This volume is directed at researchers and professionals working in plant physiology, genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology.
