Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2018

Last year I reviewed the Annual Review of Plant Biology (ARPB) 2017. This year when I received an invitation to review this volume of ARPB, I readily accepted as this gives me an opportunity to update myself on different topics that are reviewed by the experts in their research areas. However, I did not realize that this volume has 29 chapters running into 815 pages, including the prefatory chapter, lot more compared to the 2017 volume which had 21 chapters included in 586 pages. The size of ARPB is increasing, which reflects the pace at which the science is advancing, and many interesting and important discoveries are being made almost on weekly basis.
