Asymmetry in Plants (eBook, PDF)

Biology of Handedness

Produktbeschreibung

Plants exhibit forms of asymmetry analogous to "handedness" in bilaterally symmetrical animals. This book explores the evolutionary significance and development of asymmetry including the direction of tendril growth or stem coiling found in many climbing plants, spiral phyllotaxy and floral taxy, and contorted petal arrangement.
