"Compared to animals, plants have been largely neglected in evolutionary developmental
biology. Mainstream research has focused on developmental genetics, while a rich body
of knowledge in comparative morphology is still to be exploited. No integrated account
has been available. In this volume, Alessandro Minelli fills this gap using the same
approach he gave to animals, revisiting traditional concepts and providing an articulated
analysis of genetic and molecular data. Topics covered include leaf complexity and
the evolution of flower organs, handedness, branching patterns, flower symmetry and
synorganization, as well as less conventional topics such as fractal patterns of plant
organization. Also discussed is the hitherto neglected topic of the evolvability of
temporal phenotypes, including a plant's annual, biennial or perennial life cycle,
flowering time, and the timing of abscission of flower organs. This will be informative
reading for anyone in the field of plant evo-devo, from students to lecturers and
researchers"--Page 4 of cover
