代表性成果和著作
基于拟南芥emf突变体研究，提出植物发育单位概念（Based on the investigation of Arabidopsisemfmutant, proposed a concept of “plant developmental unit”）；
白书农，（1999），现象，对现象的解释和植物发育单位，李承森主编，『植物科学进展』（第二卷），52-69页，高等教育出版社，北京。
基于对黄瓜单性花研究，提出黄瓜单性花发育不是一个性别分化过程，而是促进异交的机制（Based on the investigation of unisexual flower of cucumber, proposed a new opinion that unisexual flower development is not a mechanism of sex differentiation as traditionally believed, rather a mechanism of outcross promotion）；

基于对单性花的研究及有关文献调研，提出“有性生殖周期（SRC）”概念，并提出基于SRC的有关“性”、“性别分化”、“性行为”的新定义（Based on the investigation of unisexual flower development of cucumber and the references study regarding the sex, proposed a concept of “sexual reproduction cycle”, SRC, and a set of new definitions on sex, sex differentiation and sexual behavior, derived from the concept of SRC）；

基于对水稻、拟南芥雄蕊早期发育过程的研究，提出“基于SRC的双环”的植物发育程序的观念（Based on the investigation of early stamen development of rice and Arabidopsis, proposed a new interpretation on “plant developmental program” as SRC-derived “double-rings”）；

基于前期研究，提出“植物形态建成123”的概念框架（Integrated of the previous thought, proposed a conceptual framework of “plant morphogenesis 123”）；

为追溯植物形态建成的原动力，提出有关生命系统区别于非生命系统的最初特征“活”的本质的“结构换能量循环”的假说。并在此基础上提出了“整合子生命观”（To understand the driving force of plant morphogenesis, proposed the first line to distinguish living or non-living system by “structure for energy cycle”, i.e. “live”. Derived from the hypothesis, proposed a new theory on the essence of the living system, called “the integrin theory”）。
