Publisher's Synopsis
The biology of pollen development and the phenomenon of self-incompatibility has long been a subject of great interest to plant biologists. Methods in molecular genetics are now facilitating the isolation of genes responsible for controlling pollen development and pollen-stigma interactions, resulting in a revolution in our understanding of these crucial events in plant reproduction. The contributions in this volume present current research on the physiology, molecular genetics and biotechnology of pollen and ovule development and interactions in angiosperms.
