Pollen Biotechnology Gene Expression and Allergen Characterization / by Shyam S. Mohapatra, R.B. Knox.

The last decade has seen tremendous progress in our knowledge of the pollen development and gene expression on one hand and the characterization of pollen specific proteins on the other. In compiling the chapters for this volume, we have pragmatically categorized these basic developments in pollen m...
