This book illustrates in some detail, through the use of Case Studies, examples where genetics has contributed significantly to the investigation of physiological phenomena in plants. The intention is NOT to provide a complete account of how mutants and variants have been used in plant physiology which would be a task of encyclopedic proportions and would defeat the main purpose which is to demonstate to students of plant physiology how genetically variant material has been or could be used to advantage in phsyiological investigations. To achieve this aim, a small number of examples have been selected, in as many of the areas of plant physiology as possible, to illustrate how mutants and variants are being used in research. Case Studies in Part I deal with plant nutrition and metabolism. Part II encompasses the vast area of plant growth and development, including examples of mutants that affect vegetative growth and development, mutants in flower and fruit development, and mutants affecting seed dormancy and development.; 9-1/2" Tall; 413 pages; A.
