ADVERTISERS


The Arabidopsis Book (TAB)
The American Society of Plant Biologists is pleased to announce The Arabidopsis Book (TAB), a dynamic, fully electronic compilation of chapters edited by Chris Somerville and Elliot Meyerowitz and available free of charge on the Internet.

TAB
offers a new model for scientific publishing. Each of its 100+ chapters will review in detail an important aspect of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and the content will continually evolve as new information becomes available, making TAB the most comprehensive and current work on Arabidopsis.

ASPB is providing funds for the mounting and maintenance of The Arabidopsis Book on the Internet as a public service. Please visit TAB at www.aspb.org/publications/arabidopsis for chapters currently available in PDF. Eventually all chapters and updates will be hosted in partnership with BioOne (www.bioone.org) in both HTML and PDF formats.



The Plant Cell
& Plant Physiology Archives Now Online!
The American Society of Plant Biologists has achieved another milestone in its commitment to provide online access to the Society’s journal archives free of charge to the worldwide scientific community.

All articles published in The Plant Cell, beginning with volume 1, January 1989, are now available online at www.plantcell.org. The Plant Physiology archive now dates to January 1993 at www.plantphysiol.org. Watch for announcements about expansion of the Plant Physiology archive back to the journal’s early volumes! All electronic articles have been indexed in PubMed. Articles published prior to 1998 are in searchable PDF format.


Impeccably organized, visually stunning...and great teaching text and reference

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants

In 24 structured chapters (over 1,400 pages and more than 1,100 original drawings plus 500 photographs), Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants provides a boldly contemporary review of its subject, including molecular biology, cell biology, and plant physiology, integrated around the themes of compartmentation, cell reproduction, energetics, metabolism, and development. The CD-ROM of the illustrations increases its utility for teaching.

Published by the American Society of Plant Biologists, this major text is the result of years of planning and meticulous development and editing from the top tier of plant biologists working around the world. It is an essential addition to your library and to the available resources for teaching a complex and dynamic subject.

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants is distributed by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
