<p>From the reviews of the third edition: <p><p> This book is a carefully selected collection of newly written, well integrated and illustrated reviews. It deals with our current knowledge of plant hormones and their role in plant growth and development. It covers, in very succinct and easy to read chapters, the historical background, the chemical nature, occurrence and functions of the various classes of hormones. It is a must for postgraduates. Certainly all university libraries should carry a copy or two as it can be used by all disciplines . (Johannes van Staden, South African Journal of Botany, Vol. 72, 2006)
