The aim of this volume is to merge classical concepts of plant
cell biology with the recent findings of molecular studies and
real-world applications in a form attractive not only to
specialists in the realm of fundamental research, but also to
breeders and plant producers. Four sections deal with the control
of development, the control of stress tolerance, the control of
metabolic activity, and novel additions to the toolbox of modern
plant cell biology in an exemplary and comprehensive manner and
are targeted at a broad professional community. It serves as a
clear example that a sustainable solution to the problems of food
security must be firmly rooted in modern, continuously self
re-evaluating cell-biological research.

No green biotech without green cell biology. As advances in
modern medicine is based on extensive knowledge of animal
molecular cell biology, we need to understand the hidden laws of
plant cells in order to handle crops, vegetables and forest
trees. We need to exploit, not only empirically, their astounding
developmental, physiological and metabolic plasticity, which
allows plants to cope with environmental challenges and to
restore flexible, but robust self-organisation.
