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.
