Form the preface: "This book is an attempt to consolidate the available information on plant reproductive ecology in a coherent manner and also to examine the relationships between plants and animals at flower and fruit level for the perpetuation of both groups in the habitats where they occur. This information is very useful for both in situ and ex situ conservation approaches.
The book is primarily intended for researchers in the faculties of botany, zoology, agriculture, entomology, forestry, forest management, horticulture, apiculture, biotechnology, and related areas. In recent years, some universities have introduced reproductive ecology as one of the optional subjects at undergraduate level and also as one of the core papers at postgraduate level. This book is first in its kind to provide available information on the reproductive ecology of Indian wild plants. The subject integrates various disciplines of biology and underlines the importance of molecular biology and chemistry to understand the evolutionary relationships between plants and animals in terms of mutualism, and structure and function of ecosystems."
