Most aspects of plant growth and development that affect food production involve the regulated expression of specific genes. This volume addresses the problem of how physiological environmental, and genetic factors interact to control plant gene expression, in the belief that an improved understanding of how plants function at the molecular level is an important prerequisite for the next phase in plant genetic engineering.

Quantification of the proliferative characteristics of normal and malignant cells has been of interest to oncologists and cancer biologists for almost three decades. This interest stems from (a) the fact that cancer is a disease of uncontrolled proliferation, (b) the finding that many of the commonly used anticancer agents are preferentially toxic to cells that are actively proliferating, and (c) the observa­tion that significant differences in proliferation characteristics exist between normal and malignant cells. Initially, cell cycle analysis was pursued enthusiastically in the hope of generating information useful for the development of rational cancer therapy strategies; for example, by allowing identi­fication of rapidly proliferating tumors against which cell cycle-specific agents could be used with maximum effectiveness and by allowing rational scheduling of cell cyc- specific therapeutic agents to maximize the therapeutic ratio. Unfortunately, several difficulties have prevented realization… Read More
