During the past ten years there has been a marked integration of approaches within the areas of study concerned with the translocation of assimilates in higher plants. Researchers from various fields, such as horticulture, physiology and biochemistry, have found common ground as the integrative role that phloem transport plays within the major processes of the plant has become increasingly apparent. The plethora of investigations from such a wide range of disciplines have resulted in a greatly enhanced comprehension of the fundamental processes involved in the partitioning and compartmentation of photoassimilates between source and sink tissues within plants. The aim of this book is to present students with major conceptual developments and recent research in the field, provided in a series of essays by international specialists.
