The American Society of Plant Biologists Centennial Compendium is a celebration of 100 years of plant biology, featuring contributions from plant scientists around the world. Enjoy a look back at the founding of what would become today's American Society of Plant Biology (ASPB) with a new and updated history with contributions by Brian Larkins, Elisabeth Gantt, Alan Jones, Kent Chapman, Judy Callis, Eva Farré, Martin Chrispeels, Ivan Baxter, Machi Dilworth, and Crispin Taylor.
Next, in an exciting, exclusive return to print, the centennial reviews published in ASPB's Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell are included here in full-color as both a valuable reference tool and a thoughtful look back at how far plant science has come in the last 100 years. This collaboration by Editors-in-Chief Yunde Zhao (Plant Physiology) and Blake Meyers (The Plant Cell) yielded a truly once-in-a-century collection from authors across disciplines.
