Dormancy in Plants

Understanding plant dormancy is of great importance to sustainable and efficient plant and crop growth. This book had developed from papers presented at the 2nd International Symposium on Plant Dormancy held in Angers in July 1999. It contains up to date research material on this fascinating but little written about subject and is essential reading for those studying and researching plant and seed science.
