Preface
The evolution of biology, and the genetics of the diversity of reproductive system in plants is important to understand, conserve, and manage plant genetic resources where the reproductive system plays the major tool in the maintenance of the structure and genetic diversity in natural plant populations. The Reproductive Diversity of Plants: An Evolutionary Perspective and Genetic Basis is divided into two topics. In the first chapter, we present a comprehensive approach of the most important steps on the evolution of plant reproductive systems considering the earth condition at that time. In the second chapter, we discussed about the biology and genetics of the asexual and sexual plant reproductive system. The book has several unique components, including the treatment of the succession of earth’s environmental conditions over the Phanerogamic as well as the biology and the genetics mechanisms underlying p
