Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... an invaluable guide to the literature. For the beginning student it provides a clear introduction to the known facts, the basic concepts, and the questions to be answered.' Irving Adler
' ... a united interpretation of the most fundamental patterns of plant morphology, the genetic spiral arrangement of leaves, buds or flowers. This is a marvellous little book.' Martin Ingrouille, Nature
' ... very clearly written, fascinating to read...very informative and recommendable in the best way.' Journal of Plant Physiology
Book Description
In this book, the many facets of phyllotaxis are dealt with in an integrated manner. The author describes a unified concept of phyllotaxis, and presents a mathematical model of plant growth based on experimental, anatomical, cellular, physiological, and paleontological observations. The model not only provides a framework for formal analyses of botanical data, but also emphasizes the relevance of phyllotaxis to other structures, such as crystals, and proteins.
