Sexual Plant Reproduction

Sexual Plant Reproduction edited by Mauro Cresti, Antonio Tiezzi.

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the importance of reproductive biology to crop production and there has been a tremendous increase in research on reproductive structures of higher plants. Presented here is a wide information of different aspects of micro- and macrosporogenesis,...
