TEXBOT 3: Plant Development

Recent progress in understanding Plant Development has led to the diverse collection of Perspectives presented in TEXBOT 3. The papers approach the investigation of the control of development from different viewpoints and provide material for convergent thought in the field of plant biology ripe for creative interpretation. The collection shows the impact made in the field by the increased availability of new genetic tools and by the development of other new breakthrough technologies. We hope that we have drawn together papers that will provide a useful teaching aid and give insight into recent progress in the area. All were published recently in the Journal of Experimental Botany and are freely available here as a service to readers and teachers.

This collection fits well the aims of the series 'to provide readable and informative reviews highlighting recent progress in particular areas of research', and emphasizes the eclectic approach to plant biology taken by the Journal of Experimental Botany. The Journal has traditionally devoted a large proportion of space to papers on plant development, and these papers, by leaders in their respective fields, are excellent illustrations of the high-quality output of the Journal.
