内容説明

Despite the preponderance of attention received by leaves and roots, stems and trunks are crucial components of plant form, structure, and function. The time has come, as this book testifies, to devote the same level of scrutiny to the structures that connect leaves to roots. Gartner has assembled an international team of leading researchers whose contributions attest to the many roles stems and trunks play in plant architecture, ecology, anatomy, physiology, and reproduction. These chapters vividly illustrate that stems are more than pipes, more than simple connecting and supporting structures
