Maybe we need two tracks for preparing professionals in phytobiology. That was evident even in the 50s. The big picture came into view in the early 1970s. Genetic engineering pushed the need for changing our biological concepts. This history of molecular biology is awesome.
Biochemistry is emphasized.
Each chapter presents a theme that seems to stand alone. The reduction of biology to physics, mechanics, and chemistry underlies the histories of the biological disciplines. The development of the fields of biochemistry and genetics. Without a word, computer science entered into this merged field in our new biology. Theoretical models of folding proteins, active and inactive, are in the hands of the young physiologist turned molecular.
