Abstract
A comprehensive review of the evolutionary mechanisms in plants has been performed. This review examines fundamental questions regarding plant evolution, including the development of sexes, convergent characteristics, and neutral effects in plant ecosystems. The available evidence suggests that plant evolution is not a random process, as previously hypothesized. Instead, a substantial body of evidence points to the existence of directed and predictable patterns in plant evolution, applicable not only to plants but also to other organisms. The concept of directed evolution is explored in the context of plant biology.
期刊介绍：
BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
