Octavo lavender cloth hardcover xiv 514 pp. Former-owner’s published review pasted to rear endpaper; otherwise Very Good with light foxing age darkened spotting neat former-owner stamps; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with light rubbing to edges. From dust jacket: This book summarizes our present knowledge and understanding of the genetics of higher plants. Therer has been no book treatment of basic plant genetics in recent times and such a synthesis has been much needed. The focus in Genetics of Flowering Plants is on the nature and action of genes gene systems linkage systems and genetic systems. There are chapters on sex determination mosaicism aberrant segreation ratios multifactorial linkage translocation heterozygotes recombination systems and many other topics. The book concludes with a short but provacative discussion of the place of plant genetics in biology. Wherever possible the author relates the evidence of plant genetics to the findings and concepts in other branches of genetics -- microbial genetics and Drosophila genetics for example. The genetics of microorganisms has received much attention in the modern era. Although its conclusions have often been assumed to hold true in higher organisms this assumption is frequently unjustified. Plants on the other hand possess certain advantageous features as experimental organisms which enable them to reveal gentic processes common to multicellular organisms generally.
