The study of plant cell expansion involves many different disciplines and technical approaches, and this book is the first attempt to bring this diversity together to present a multifaceted view of the most up-to-date knowledge. Included are data ranging from biophysical measurements and chemical analysis to molecular biological approaches and microscopy UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11536338 ER -
