Progress in Botany

With one volume each year, this series keeps scientists and advanced students informed of the latest developments and results in all areas of the plant sciences.
The present volume includes reviews on
genetics,
cell biology,
physiology,
comparative morphology,
systematics,
ecology and
vegetation science

A review of the latest results in the major areas of the plant sciences in the past 1-2 years
