Reviews

This is clearly a worthy volume, with a wealth of information and ideas on the application of molecular data to taxonomy. - Plant Varieties and Seeds; ...an excellent introduction to the field right now - Acta Botanica Useful for everybody interested in Plant Systematics and in the use and problems of modern techniques more recently applied. Highly recommended to people interested in this field. - Journal of Plant Physiology; This is clearly a worthy volume, with a wealth of information and ideas on the application of molecular data to taxonomy. - Plant Varieties and Seeds; ...an excellent introduction to the field right now - Acta Botanica Useful for everybody interested in Plant Systematics and in the use and problems of modern techniques more recently applied.
