"Plant Developmental Biology" is a textbook that focuses on the mechanisms of plant development. It highlights the processes that lead to the formation of specialized cell types, tissues, and organs from the fertilized egg throughout the life of a plant. The book addresses the differences between plant and animal development, particularly noting that plant development is often open-ended and heavily influenced by environmental conditions. In recent decades, research in plant developmental biology has made significant strides, especially through the use of powerful molecular biology tools. This book provides a collection of protocols for common experimental approaches in plant developmental biology and is part of the renowned "Methods in Molecular Biology" series. The chapters are uniformly structured, beginning with a theoretical introduction to the respective methods.
