Plant Science, like the biological sciences in general, has
undergone seismic shifts in the last thirty or so years. Of course
science is always changing and metamorphosing, but these shifts
have meant that modern plant science has moved away from its
previous more agricultural and botanical context, to become a core
biological discipline in its own right. However the sheer amount of
information that is accumulating about plant science, and the
difficulty of grasping it all, understanding it and evaluating it
intelligently, has never been harder for the new generation of
plant scientists or, for that matter, established scientists. And
that is precisely why this Handbook of Plant Science has
been put together.
- Discover modern, molecular plant sciences as they link traditional disciplines!
- Derived from the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Life Sciences!
