Support for Publication of AIBS Symposium on "Systematics and Evolution of the Monocotyledons"

单子叶植物是开花植物的两大类群之一。1986年美国生物科学研究所举行了题为“单子叶植物的系统学和进化”的专题讨论会。乔治·罗杰斯博士从为这次研讨会撰写的七篇研究文章中创建了一本论文集。罗杰斯博士建议在《密苏里州植物园年鉴》上以卷的形式发表这些文章。会议记录卷将汇集几个最重要的贡献，帮助我们理解这个主要的植物群。《年鉴》是一份发行广泛、备受推崇的期刊，该系列的出版将确保产生广泛的影响。学生和研究人员将把这一卷作为植物学研究的里程碑。

Monocotyledons are one of the two main groups of flowering plants. A special symposium entitled "Systematics and Evolution of the Monocotyledons" was held at the 1986 meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences. Dr. George Rogers has created a Proceedings Volume from the seven research articles produced for this symposium. Dr. Rogers proposes to publish these as a volume in the Annals of the Missouri Botanical Gardens. The proceedings volume will bring together several of the most important contributions to our understanding of this major plant group. The Annals is a widely distributed and highly respected journal, and publication in this series will ensure wide impact. Students and researchers will turn to this volume as a milestone in botanical research.
