Abstract
Development is the process by which a programme of selective gene expression, operating on a constant pool of genetic information produÂces a complex adult organism from a single fertilized cell. A major aspect of this process is tissue differentiation, i.e. the generation of the many cell types, each with specific physical and metabolic characterÂistics, which are essential to the diverse and integrated functions of that adult organism. It will already be clear that differential gene expression gives rise to tissue-specific isoenzyme patterns in the adult and since these are generated from a single precursor pattern at the one-cell stage, obviously an intricate series of isoenzyme changes must occur during development. These changes have interested developmental biologists from the earliest days of isoenzymology.
