Bennetzen and Walbot et al. discuss in considerable detail the regulation of the mutator transposable elements in maize.My only criticism of the book is the apparent concentration on maize and the small crucifer Arabidopsis thaliana.In fact Somerville et al. go to some length to praise the use of Arabidopsis as a model system.I have always found barley an excellent plant for carrying out biochemical and genetical studies!In conclusion, Michael Freeling should be congratulated on putting together such an excellent work in such a short time after the end of the conference.The book will be of value both to researchers in the field and to those of us who have to prepare lectures on the subject for final-year students.
