The article highlights the 15th "New Phytologist" Symposium on Networks in Plant Biology of the Linnean Society in London, England in January 2006. A theme running throughout the symposium is the idea of the level of detail necessary to understand a systems behavior. The topics under discussion ranged from the entire globe to the internal workings of a single cell, but in each case the question of how much detail we need to know about a systems components and how they interact to understand its behavior arose again and again.
