Description for Multiplicity in Unity
Hardcover. Plants produce a considerable number of structures of one kind, like leaves, fruits, and seeds, and this reiteration is a quintessential feature of the body plan of higher plants. This title addresses a topic central to our understanding of the diversity of life and the ways in which organisms have coevolved to cope with variable environments. Series: Interspecific Interactions. Num Pages: 416 pages, 15 halftones, 23 line drawings, 19 tables. BIC Classification: PSAF. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 28. .
Plants produce a considerable number of structures of one kind, like leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds, and this reiteration is a quintessential feature of the body plan of higher plants. But since not all structures of the same kind produced by a plant are identical - for instance, different branches on a plant may be male or female, leaf sizes in the sun differ from those in the shade, and fruit sizes can vary depending on patterns of physiological allocation among branches - a single plant genotype generally produces a multiplicity of phenotypic versions of the same organ.

Reviews for Multiplicity in Unity
"Herrera has achieved an impressive goal with this work. This book will appeal to researchers and graduate students looking for new approaches to the fields of plant-animal interactions, evolutionary ecology, population biology, comparative evolutionary biology, and plant physiology." - Susan J. Mazer, University of California, Santa Barbara"
