Presented here is an analysis of plant development and plant metabolism using the tools of genetics and molecular biology, such as mutant analysis, mutation tagging, mapping using polymorphic characters and basic molecular biology techniques.
The cambium has been variously defined as follows: "e;The actively dividing layer of cells that lies between, and gives rise to, secondary xylem and phloem (vascular cambium)"e; (IAWA 1964); "e;A meristem with products of periclinal divisions commonly contributed in two directions and arranged in radial files.

Bivalve filter-feeding mollusks are important components of coastal ecosystems because they remove large quantities of suspended material from the water and excrete abundant amounts of reactive nutrients.
Advances in molecular biology describing important enzyme systems involved in drug conjugation and deconjugation reactions and recent work indicating the importance of drug and xenobiotic conjugates as transport forms of biologically active compounds are reviewed comprehensively.
It has been almost 20 years since the discovery by Kohler and Milstein of the technology to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), a discovery that promised revolutionary changes in research, clinical diagnosis and human therapy.
This volume of Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology was planned in parallel with an EM BO workshop on cell-cell Interactions in Leukocyte Homing and Differentiation held at the Basel Institute for Immunology in November 1992, and many of the workshop speakers have contributed to it.
With one new volume each year, this series keeps scientistsand advanced students informed of the latest developmentsand results in all areas of botany.
The intriguing complexity, precision, and regulation of the wide range of biologi- cal processes is determined by intricate mechanisms of molecular recognition.
In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the importance of reproductive biology to crop production and there has been a tremendous increase in research on reproductive structures of higher plants.
In this volume the impact of cell culture models ondermatological research is discussed by scientists frommedicine, physiology, biology, pharmacology,and pharmacy.
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of knowledge lea-ding to a molecular understanding of the mechanisms of ac-tion of calcium on excitation and contraction coupling andits role in the regulation of contractility.
With this book we* want to address young graduate students, clini- cians involved in transplantation, and technicians in transplantation immunology laboratories.
In 1957 Otto SCHAUMANN, one of the pionieers in pharmacological research on morphine and the first to prepare synthetic opiates, presented a mono- graph entitled "e;Morphin und morphiniihnliche Verbindungen"e; as Volume 12 of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology.
