![]() ![]() Desiccation tolerance in seeds is a programmed phase of embryological development and, under natural conditions, desiccation tolerance will certainly occur. The second section of the book discusses the desiccation tolerance of seeds, pollens, and spores. ![]() Work in this area is still in its infancy, but readers will get a good outline about gene expression, pathways, and regulation of gene expression in response to desiccation and rehydration. We get an indication about genes that are switched on (and off) during dehydration and rehydration. This book review is available at Iowa State University Digital Repository: desiccation. ![]() Roshchina, Science Publishers, Enfield (NH), 338 p. Disciplines Cell Biology | Developmental Biology Comments This review is from The Quarterly Review of Biology -“Fluorescing World of Plant Secreting Cells” by Victoria V. This phenomenon serves as the basis of this book, which portrays an array of plant cellular and subcellular structures and their products as seen through various types of fluorescence microscopes (such as the luminescence microscope, confocal laser scanning microscope, and microspectrofluorometer). The beautiful world of microscopic colors, as seen by autofluorescence, is clearly demonstrated by a variety of plant structures that secrete or are internally composed of many kinds of natural substrates excited by ultraviolet to blue light that emit in the visible spectrum. ![]()
