Plant Hormone Signal Perception and Transduction: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Plant Hormone Signal Perception and Transduction, Moscow, Russia, September 4-10, 1994

The papers collected in this work aim to show the ways in which the growth and development of the whole plant are controlled, and how they can only be based on an exploration of the physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of these mechanisms.
