| Abstract
|
:
|
The results, published in this book, present the outcome of a cooperative research between plant ecologists, physiologists and population geneticists. The project received generous financial support from the Foundation for Bio- logical Research, which is subsidized by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.
