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之一。在1986年美国生物科学研究所的会议上举行了一次题为“单子叶植物的系统学和进化”的专题讨论会。乔治·罗杰斯博士从本次研讨会上发表的七篇研究论文中整理出了一份论文集。罗杰斯博士建议将这些成果成册出版在《密苏里植物园年鉴》上。论文集将汇集几个最重要的贡献，以我们对这一主要植物群的理解。《年鉴》是一份发行广泛、受人尊敬的期刊，在这个系列中发表将确保广泛的影响。学生和研究人员将把这本书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.
