Modular organization of flowering plants and its implications

Abstract

Three categories of modules (elementary, universal and essential) development in the flowering plant give them the following advantages: 1) wide range of elements for the body construction; 2) a high degree of autonomy of parts – universal and essential modules; 3) possibility of the existence in the form of monocarpic annual plants and policarpic annual plants of vegetative origin; 4) integration of individuals and their parts in the environment; 5) successful existence in specific not always optimal habitat conditions.
