HIERARCHY AND AUTOEVOLUTIONISM IN A GENERAL SYSTEM APPROACH TO PLANT PATTERN MORPHOGENESIS

摘要: The paper presents an analysis of a specific problem, treatment the primordial patterns on plants and inside their buds, in framework hierarchy theory. many levels organization from quarks to ecology, via minerals, constitute particular hierarchy; we will concentrate two that hierarchy. primordia (e.g. florets daisy, scales pineapple, seeds sunflower capitulum) form level. respective developing buds represent second inter-level dynamic itself is (Jean's hierarchical representation phyllotaxis), multi-level system interacting aggregative fashion. We differentiate between layers models meant explain patterns. More generally shows relevance autoevolutionism Autoevolutionism alternative neo-Darwinism systemic concept never mentioned hierarchi...
