With one volume each year, this series keeps scientists and advanced students informed of the latest developments and results in all areas of the plant sciences.
The present volume includes reviews on genetics, cell biology, physiology, comparative morphology, systematics, ecology and vegetation science.

A review of the latest results in the major areas of the plant sciences in the past 1-2 years

Autorentext
Ulrich Lüttge lehrte bis zum Jahr 2004 als Ordinarius am Institut für Botanik der Technischen Universität Darmstadt. Ulrich Lüttges Arbeitsgruppe beschäftigt sich u.a mit Membranphysiologie und -biochemie, circadianer Rhythmik von Photosyntheseprozessen sowie dem antioxidativen Verteidigungssystem der Pflanze. Joachim W. Kadereit, geb. 1956 in Hannover, studierte Biologie in Hamburg und Cambridge/DK. 1991 wurde er auf einen Lehrstuhl für Botanik an der Universität Mainz berufen. Dort übernahm er die Leitung des Botanischen Gartens.
