FOCUS PAPER

Preface

Two major areas in the field of plant research have been, and continue to be, development and metabolism. However, little attention has been paid to the potential role of primary metabolism in determining and/or modulating plant development. Recently, a number of papers have been published providing clear evidence of links between the modulation of plant development and leaf carbon metabolism. To highlight this, and to bring together researchers from both the development and metabolism research areas, a session on Leaf Metabolism and Development was held at the Society for Experimental Biology Annual Meeting in Barcelona, Spain, in July 2005. The four focus papers in this issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany were invited contributions from this session and will hopefully provide some insight into this emerging area. I would like to thank the Journal of Experimental Botany and the Society for Experimental Biology for financial support for this session. Thanks also to the editorial staff at the Journal of Experimental Botany; Mary Traynor, Jane Basterfield, Raquel Gonzalez Cuesta, and Pam Rogers.
