ISBN 0-8247-9229-7, 853 pp., hardcover, US$ 195. Like many other areas of agricultural research, seed research has been advanced dramatically during the past decade by modem approaches using molecular-based techniques. The use of molecular biology offers new insights into mechanisms regulating seed development, dormancy, and germination.
and in the absence of free water. Seeds allow for a dormancy stage and provide food for the developing embryo. Flowers promote efficient pollination, and fruits aid in seed protection and dispersal.2 The seed habit is the most complex and successful method of sexual reproduction in vascular plants. The seed plants comprise two major
