Quantitative approaches in plant biology have a long history that have led to several ground-breaking discoveries and given rise to new principles, new paradigms and new methodologies. We take a short historical trip into the past to explore some of the many great scientists and influences that have led to the development of quantitative plant biology. We have not been constrained by historical fact, although we have tried not to deviate too much. We end with a forward look, expressing our hopes and ambitions for this exciting interdisciplinary field.
植物生物学中的定量方法有着悠久的历史，这一历史带来了多项开创性的发现，并催生了新的原理、新的范式和新的方法。我们进行一次简短的历史回顾，去探寻众多推动定量植物生物学发展的伟大科学家及其影响。尽管我们尽量不偏离历史事实，但也并未受其严格限制。最后我们展望未来，表达我们对这个令人兴奋的跨学科领域的希望与抱负。
