FOREWORD This issue of the Israel Journal of Botany is dedicated to Professor A. Fahn who, although recently retired, still continues his teaching and active research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The subject here, secretion and secretory structures in plants, is only one of those in which Professor Fahn has made major contributions, but it was the one which formed the basis of his Ph.D. thesis and to which he returned many times. Secretion was once considered to be an unusual process that does not play a major role in the life of plants, but the articles in this issue demonstrate that it has become the subject of a major field of research. One reason for this change of attitude is that it is now realized how widespread secretion is. Other reasons may be the fascinating variety of secretory structures and processes and their practical importance. Secretion, furthermore, is significant to almost all other botanical subjects: to the biology of plant cells and the roles of the various organelles, to physiology at organ and whole plant levels, to development and its controls, to ecological relations with all types of other organisms, to understanding the evolutionary relations of plant taxa http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Israel Journal of Plant Sciences Brill

Abstract

This issue of the Israel Journal of Botany is dedicated to Professor A. Fahn who, although recently retired, still continues his teaching and active research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The subject here, secretion and secretory structures in plants, is only one of those in which Professor Fahn has made major contributions, but it was the one which formed the basis of his Ph.D. thesis and to which he returned many times. Secretion was once considered to be an unusual process that does not play a major role in the life of plants, but the articles in this issue demonstrate that it has become the subject of a major field of research. One reason for this change of attitude is that it is now realized how widespread secretion is. Other reasons may be the fascinating variety of secretory structures and processes and their practical importance. Secretion, furthermore, is significant to almost all other botanical subjects: to the biology of plant cells and the roles of the various organelles, to physiology at organ and whole plant levels, to development and its controls, to ecological relations with all types of other organisms, to understanding the evolutionary relations of plant taxa
