FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on the theme of the evolution of plant body plans, which necessarily also considers plant developmental systems in true evo-devo style (evolution-development). Far from being arcane and abstract, this topic highlights the most useful aphorism in biology, that “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” (Theodosus Dobzansky, adapted from the Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin).
