Developmental Biology in Prokaryotes and Lower Eukaryotes

Abstract

Developmental biology is an area of great interest to biologists, as it addresses the mechanisms underlying plant, animal, fungal, and bacterial growth and development. Modern developmental biology combines a multidisciplinary approach to understand the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis. It applies the most recent methods and techniques from disciplines such as biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and molecular genetics, to fully understand the complex regulatory processes involved. It is beyond the means of this book to cover all relevant subjects in developmental biology; hence, the book scope is restricted to relevant aspects of the prokaryotic and lower eukaryotic worlds, with an occasional foray into the higher eukaryotes realm.
