The Evolution of Plant Form is an exceptional new volume inWiley-Blackwell's highly successful and well establishedAnnual Plant Reviews.
Written by recognised and respected researchers, this bookdelivers a comprehensive guide to the diverse range of scientificperspectives in land plant evolution, from morphological evolutionto the studies of the mechanisms of evolutionary change and thetools with which they can be studied. This title distinguishesitself from others in plant evolution through its synthesis ofthese ideas, which then provides a framework for future studies andexciting new developments in this
field.
The first chapter explores the origins of the majormorphological innovations in land plants and the following chaptersprovide an exciting, in depth analysis of the morphologicalevolution
of land plant groups including bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns,gymnosperms and angiosperms. The second half of the book focuses onevolutionary studies in land plants including genomics,
adaptation, development and phenotypic plasticity. The finalchapter provides a summary and perspective for future studies inthe evolution of plant form.
The Evolution of Plant Form provides essential information forplant scientists and evolutionary biologists. All libraries andresearch establishments, where biological and agricultural sciencesare
studied and taught, will find this important work a vital additionto their shelves.
