Title:	Plant Architecture and its Manipulation
Authors:	G., Colin
Keywords:	Plant architecture
Issue Date:	2005
Publisher:	Blackwell
Description:	The 10 chapters of this book range from the molecular and cellular through to the whole organism. Chapter 1 explores intracellular processes, focussing on mechanisms of regulation of cell shape, division and directions of growth. Chapters 2–4 detail the structure and regulation of vegetative shoot systems, from the linear extension processes of shoot elongation to the efficient development of planar leaves and three-dimensional branching patterns. Chapter 7 succinctly presents the root version of all these aspects. Chapters 5 and 6 move to the reproductive phases of shoot development, contrasting the highly conserved ordering of floral organs with the diversity of final flower structures and inflorescence arrays. Chapters 8 and 9 cover more complex systems – perennial woody species, along with possibilities for modelling approaches to describe and predict architectures. Chapter 10 rounds off the volume with a perspective on key applications of plant architecture in horticultural and agricultural contexts.
