Description

The intricate processes behind flower formation have only recently been unraveled. In this book, Maxine Singer explains how key genes, modulated by epigenetic effects and responding to environmental cues, cause plants to bloom at specific times and define the variety of flowers. This clear and accessible account reveals the remarkable complexity of flowering, a critical aspect of the reproductive cycle for many plants. The story behind the flowers in our gardens, parks, and fields is proving astonishing, with profound implications for food production, including fruits and seeds. The processes involved in flowering have evolved alongside pollinating birds and insects, and much remains to be learned about this cutting-edge science.
