Book excerpt: Plants are an advantageous group for the consideration of the development of biological form. Plants share most aspects of cell biology with other organisms, yet their embryonic development continues throughout their life, their cells do not move relative to each other and their structure is relatively simple. The chapters in this book are centred around the structure of tissues and its purpose is to try and predict what should be looked for at a molecular level so as to account for observable forms. Each chapter deals with a defined problem such as the role of hormones as correlative agents, tissue polarization, apical meristems and cell lineages. The final chapter develops an alternative approach to the problem of the specification of biological form, that of 'epigenetic selection'. The chapters are centred around the structure of tissues, an intermediate and neglected level between overt morphology and biochemistry, and will be of great interest to all those engaged in attempting to understand the principles behind plant development.

Book excerpt: Half a billion years of evolution have turned the eye into an unbelievable pattern detector. Everything we perceive comes in delightful multicolored forms. Now, in the age of science, we want to comprehend what and why we see. Two dozen outstanding biologists, chemists, physicists, psychologists, computer scientists and mathematicians met at the Institut d'Hautes Etudes Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette, France. They expounded their views on the physical, biological and physiological mechanisms creating the tapestry of patterns we see in molecules, plants, insects, seashells, and even the human brain. This volume comprises surveys of different aspects of pattern formation and recognition, and is aimed at the scientifically minded reader. p>Sample Chapter(s) Chapter 1.1: Introduction (242 KB) Chapter 1.2: Single blind agent with finite memory (170 KB) Chapter 1.3: Single blind agent with inflnite memory (190 KB) Chapter 1.4: Single sighted agent receiving cues from the environment (one-way exogenous control) (315 KB) Chapter 1.5: Single sighted agent receiving cues from the structure (two-way exogenous control) (165 KB) Chapter 1.6: Single self-controlled agent (endogenous control) (176 KB) Chapter 1.7: Multiple blind agents with finite memory (189 KB) Chapter 1.8: Multiple blind agents with infinite memory (124 KB) Chapter 1.9: Multiple sighted agents (264 KB) Contents:Growth and Form:Paradigms of Pattern Formation — Towards a Computational Theory of Morphogenesis (P Prusinkiewicz)Growth and Form of Sponges and Corals in a Moving Fluid (J A Kaandorp & P M A Sloot)From Pseudo-Random Numbers to Stochastic Growth Models and Texture Images (L P Yaroslavsky)Crystal Growth, Biological Cell Growth, and Geometry (J W Cannon et al.)Recent Results on Aperiodic Wang Tilings (J Kari)Reaction-Diffusion and Beyond:Biological Pattern Formation as a Complex Dynamic Phenomenon (H Meinhardt)Andronov Bifurcations and Sea Shell Patterns (M Argentina & P Coullet)Rational and Irrational Angles in Phyllotaxis (Y Couder & S Douady)Cellular Patterns:Organogenetic Cellular Patterning in Plants (P W Barlow et al.)A Classification of Plant Meristems Based on Cellworks (3D L-Systems).

Book excerpt: The establishment of polarity is a fundamental feature in eukaryotic development. Polarity in Plants provides an account of current research into the mechanisms by which polarity is generated at the level of the cell, organ and organism in plants, drawing especially on recent work with model organisms. The emphasis is on the use of the techniques of molecular genetics to dissect molecular mechanisms. This is the first volume to bring together the diverse aspects of polarity in plant development.

Book excerpt: Pattern Formation in Morphogenesis is a rich source of interesting and challenging mathematical problems. The volume aims at showing how a combination of new discoveries in developmental biology and associated modelling and computational techniques has stimulated or may stimulate relevant advances in the field. Finally it aims at facilitating the process of unfolding a mutual recognition between Biologists and Mathematicians of their complementary skills, to the point where the resulting synergy generates new and novel discoveries. It offers an interdisciplinary interaction space between biologists from embryology, genetics and molecular biology who present their own work in the perspective of the advancement of their specific fields, and mathematicians who propose solutions based on the knowledge grasped from biologists.

Book excerpt: This symposium is the third in a series featuring the propaga tion of higher plants through tissue culture. The first of these symposia, entitled "A Bridge Between Research and Application," was held at the University in 1978 and was published by the Technical Information Center, Department of Energy. The second symposium, on "Emerging Technologies and Strategies," was held in 1980 and pub lished as a special issue of Environmental and Experimental Botany. One of the aims of these symposia was to examine the current state of-the-art in tissue culture technology and to relate this state of technology to practical, applied, and commercial interests. Thus, the third of this series on development and variation focused on embryogenesis in culture: how to recognize it, factors which affect embryogenesis, use of embryogenic systems, etc.; and variability from culture. A special session on woody species again emphasized somatic embryogenesis as a means of rapid propagation. This volume emphasizes tissue culture of forest trees. All of these areas, we feel, are breakthrough areas in which significant progress is expected in the next few years.
