Summary:"This illustrated reference text, with more than 350 figures, presents general angiosperm embryology using examples from economically important plants. The focus of this book on economically significant plants makes Flowering Plant Embryology a "must-have" for all plant science researchers and students." "Drawing from his career of teaching botany, and his original embryological research, Lersten emphasizes the plant species that affect human livelihood, including weeds, ornamentals, and other cultivated plants that are used for commercial products. Topics are treated with a uniformity of style that boosts comprehension, and technical terms are well-defined. The book presents research results, hypotheses, and speculations about why things are as they are, and also offers supporting facts and specific examples. This book provides a firm foundation for thorough understanding of embryological diversity among economic plants."--BOOK JACKET.
