Abstract

The development of an organism from a single cell to its full spatial complexity is a most fascinating phenomenon. Up to about 1984, most information have been observed from perturbation of normal development and the observation of the subsequent regulations. Based on this observations, we have elaborated molecularly reasonable molecular interactions that reproduce in computer simulations the observed dynamic regulation in great detail. The proposed interactions have found meanwhile direct support by molecular-genetic investigations. The following processes are proposed to play a crucial role.
