Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

Trees are a major component of the biosphere and have played an important part in the world's history and culture. With the modern challenges of global warming and dwindling fossil fuel reserves, trees, and in particular their wood, can provide solutions. Unfortunately, too little is known about the biology of these plants, due largely to a lack

of appropriate techniques. In recognition of this, Wood Formation in Trees presents a variety of detailed techniques and protocols for the study of the cell and molecular biology of wood formation in trees. Internationally recognized experts, most of whom are the researchers who developed the techniques, speak with authority in this volume, and also provide

first-hand tips and trade secrets to help the uninitiated master the techniques. The techniques reflect a hierarchical approach to the study of the developmental biology of wood formation: anatomical, biochemical and molecular-genetic.

Trees are a tremendous but vastly under-appreciated natural resource. In an age where the natural product is so often

modified to suit modern tastes and industrial processes, it

is essential to understand how the natural product is made. The techniques in this book provide that essential information about the process of wood formation in trees.

Reviews for Wood Formation in Trees: Cell and Molecular Biology Techniques

"""The editor is to be congratulated for producing this very informative collection of papers with high quality micrographs, some of which are printed in color. The drawings included in the description of preparation protocols also give a perfect insight into practical laboratory work and procedures. In summary, this book is highly recommended and should become a standard not only for libraries, but also as a personal copy for scientists working with woody tissues. It also serves as a rich source of scientific information regarding both structural and biochemical aspects of wood formation."" -- Annals of Botany"
