This is the first atlas to document the Morphology
of Arabidopsis thaliana
, the small flowering plant which emerged during the 1980's as the primary model for research in the surging field of plant biology. Arabidopsis
is the plant of choice for many studies in genetics, biochemistry, Development, and radiation biology. This atlas consists of contributions from many of the world's leading Arabidopsis
laboratories and is a "must have" volume for plant biologists. Its extensively illustrated chapters cover five principal areas: embryogenesis, vegetative growth, root growth, reproductive structures, and host-pathogen interactions.
