From the reviews:

"I wish to recommend ... 'Plant Embryogenesis' edited by M.F. Suárez and P.V. Bozhkov. ... we can whole-heartedly express our thanks to all authors - leading experts in the field of plant embryology for very useful book. ... The authors aim this book primarily at researchers who are relatively new to the field of plant embryology. ... this volume will be very useful text in all laboratories dealing with plant development and embryology. It can inspire students as well as full-fledged plant embryologists." (Z. Vondráková, Biologia Plantarum, Vol. 52 (2), 2008)
