Comprising about one hundred plates this atlas documents and
describes the processes concerning the sexual reproduction
in higher plants. It is dividedinto three parts:
- Anther Development
- Pistil Development
- Progamic Phase and Fertilization.
The scanning, transmission electron and light micrographs
are all of immaculate quality and - for the viewer's
orientation - almost each plate is complemented by a scheme
showing a larger area of the plant indicating the site of
the section.
Together with instructive texts, the often striking images
provide a valuable introduction into plant reproductive cell
structures for researchers and advanced students of
genetics, plantbreeding and cell biology.
