Resumo

O surgimento recente de novas áreas de pesquisa biológica, como por exemplo a Biologia Molecular, introduziu tensões com disciplinas estabelecidas há mais tempo. Em referência estrita às plantas como objeto de estudo, Biologia Vegetal parece encaminhar-se a substituir o termo Botânica, acrescentando ao estudo dos organismos vegetais novos níveis de organização (por exemplo, celular, molecular). Neste artigo, pretendo dar alguns exemplos relevantes das contribuições derivadas da incorporação dos enfoques celulares e moleculares ao conhecimento sobre as plantas, e tentarei defender uma maior integração entre os estudos em diferentes níveis de organização biológica.
