商品描述

Plants exhibit forms of asymmetry analogous to "handedness" in bilaterally symmetrical animals. This book explores the evolutionary significance and development of asymmetry. Examples of genetic control include the direction of tendril or stem coiling of many climbing plants; the so-called spiral phyllotaxy and floral taxy; and contorted petal arrangement is another kind of left- right symmetry in plants; the direction of contortion is fixed in some but not in other plants. The book will underscore tha all phenomena related to handedness start during embryogenesis itself, with the occurrence of embryo rotation.





Key selling features:





  • First consolidated book on Plant Handedness


  • Relates handedness, asymmetry and chirality to the evolution of different organizational levels in plant biology


  • Emphasizes handedness as a vital governing force in plant functional evolution


  • Provides a new perspective, hitherto ignored, into plant developemtn and evolution


  • Describes how an age-old phenomenon can give scope for investigation from a very modern interdisciplinary approach

商品描述(中文翻譯)

植物表現出類似於雙側對稱動物的「手性」的非對稱形式。本書探討了非對稱的演化意義和發展。遺傳控制的例子包括許多攀緣植物的卷鬚或莖的纏繞方向;所謂的螺旋葉序和花序;以及扭曲的花瓣排列是植物中另一種左右對稱的形式;某些植物的扭曲方向是固定的,但其他植物則不是。本書將強調所有與手性相關的現象都是在胚胎發育過程中開始的,伴隨著胚胎旋轉的發生。

主要銷售特點:
- 首本關於植物手性的綜合性書籍
- 將手性、非對稱性和手性與植物生物學中不同組織層次的演化聯繫起來
- 強調手性作為植物功能演化中的重要主導力量
- 提供一種全新的視角,至今未被重視,關於植物的發展和演化
- 描述一種古老現象如何從非常現代的跨學科方法中提供研究的空間
