Wood Formation in Trees: Cell and Molecular Biology Techniques
Editorial Reviews
Review
The editor is to be congratulated for producing this very informative collection of papers with high quality micrographs, some of which are printed in color. The drawings included in the description of preparation protocols also give a perfect insight into practical laboratory work and procedures. In summary, this book is highly recommended and should become a standard not only for libraries, but also as a personal copy for scientists working with woody tissues. It also serves as a rich source of scientific information regarding both structural and biochemical aspects of wood formation.

Book Description
Trees, a major component of the biosphere, can provide solutions to modern challenges of global warming and dwindling fossil fuel reserves. Unfortunately, too little is known about the biology of these plants, due to a lack of appropriate techniques for studying how they are formed. Wood Formation in Trees presents a variety of detailed protocols for the study of the cell and molecular biology of wood formation: anatomical, biochemical and molecular-genetic. Internationally recognized experts, most of whom are the researchers who developed the techniques, speak with authority in this volume, and also provide first-hand tips and trade secrets to help the uninitiated master the techniques.
