Críticas

This book is especially appealing because complex developmental details are clearly and accurately presented and are based on a thorough review of the literature and the author's personal observations... [It] stands as a testimony to the early corn biologists like Kiesselbach who understood corn as an organism rather than as a collection of parts. The timeliness of the republication of this book could not be better, given that plant anatomy, morphology, and reproduction classes are slowly disappearing from our university campuses. Although we are now in the era of molecular developmental biology, The Structure and Reproduction of Corn stands as a time-honored class that should be on the shelf of every practicing and aspiring corn biologist.
