Relations of metabolism to cell development in plants

摘要: In addition to the “classical” approaches problem of morphogenesis, such as descriptive analyses development, surgical experiments, and studies on control development by environmental conditions hormonal other correlative factors, last years have seen an increasing number attempts penetrate with tools experience modern biochemistry. To name but a few examples, been made in fields tissue differentiation shoot root apices, flowering organ abscission seed plants, developmental physiology Acrasiates Acetabularia, transformation normal into tumor cells under influence crown-gall organism. However, most these studies, which will be treated appropriate chapters this volume, may said (and their authors are first concur) still basically nature—descriptive that, while they supply new refined parameters categorize phenomena, do not explain phenomena causal manner. There are, however, areas where beginning has relating cell metabolism cause-and-effect fashion, purpose chapter is review cases, far relate plants.
