Aims and Scope The book series is intended for readers ranging from advanced students to senior research scientists and corporate directors interested in acquiring in-depth, state-of-the-art knowledge about research findings and techniques related to plant science and biotechnology. While the subject matter will relate more particularly to agricultural applications, timely topics iIi basic science and biotechnology will also be explored. Some volumes will report progress in rapidly advancing disciplines through proceedings of symposia and workshops while others will detail fundamental infonnation of an enduring nature that will be referenced repeatedly.
The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.
