Synopsis

Great progress has been made during the past decade in the burgeoning field of plant reproductive biology. A number of quantitative and technical breakthroughs, such as horizontal starch gel electrophoresis, have resulted in a revolution in thinking. The area of breeding systems, which used to be marked by a rather static focus on pollination and self-incompatibility, has been transformed by dynamic models of transitional pathways, and investigators are looking not only into genetic factors but ecological ones as well. Workers in the field have recently produced detailed accounts of mating success and the relative fitness of plants as male and female parents, thus testing the applicability of the sexual selection theory to plants. "Ecology and Evolution of Plant Reproduction" surveys recent advances in the field of plant reproductive biology and identifies fruitful avenues for future research. The contributors are well known in the fields of morphology, systematics, genetics, cell biology, and ecology, representing the full spectrum of approaches that contribute vigour to this emerging field. This book should be of interest to professionals and students in plant science, evolutionary ecology, genetics, plant breeding, and reproductive biology.
