The flowers of higher plants not only contain the organs of plant reproduction but are of fundamental importance in giving rise to fruits and seeds which constitute a major component of the human diet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume opens with a chapter describing a model for the evolution of the Angiosperm flower. Chapters 2 to 5 describe the core development of the flower and include floral induction, floral pattering and organ initiation, floral shape and size, and inflorescence architecture. Chapters 6 to 8 focus on more specialised aspects of floral development: monoecy, cytoplasmic male sterility and flowering in perennials. Chapters 9 and 10 address more functional aspects: flower colour and scent. The book concludes, appropriately, with a chapter on flower senescence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplied aspects are stressed wherever appropriate, and the book is directed at researchers and professionals in plant genetics, developmental and molecular biology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume has been designed to complement an earlier volume in our \u003ci\u003eAnnual Plant Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e series, O’Neill, S.
