Description for Functional Organization of the Plant Nucleus
Hardback. In a time of soaring food, and energy needs, the understanding of plants' genetic molecular mechanisms, and their effect on plant growth, is essential. This book presents what is a very timely topic entirely from the plant biologist's perspective. Editor(s): Meier, Iris. Series: Plant Cell Monographs. Num Pages: 192 pages, 16 black & white illustrations, 2 colour illustrations, 8 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSTD; PSTL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 510.
In a presentation to the Linnean Society of London in November 1831, the Scottish botanist Robert Brown (perhaps better known for his discovery of Brownian motion) mentioned almost as an afterthought that in orchid epidermal cells, a single “circular areola” could be seen, a “nucleus of the cell as perhaps it might be termed.” Thus, the term “nucleus” (from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, “little nut” or kernel) was born for the compartment of the eukaryotic cell that contains the maj- ity of genetic information. One hundred and seventy-seven years later, we know that the nucleus is the site where genetic ... Read more
