Summary, etc |
This book illustrates basic principles of development and related subject matter of genetics. The main objective is to integrate two disciplines of development and genetics into one. Thus it mainly deals with the role of genes in development. Contents: 1. Developmental Genetics in its Historical Perspective; 2. Genome Constancy in Development; 3.Developmental Analysis of Nucleus and Nucleolus; 4. Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Interactions; 5. Gene Structure, Gene Function, Gene Expression and Gene Regulation; 6. Temporal and Spatial Gene Expression; 7. Sigma Factors in Gene Expression; 8. DNA Rearrangements in Gene Expression; 9. Cell-specific Activation of Genes; 10. Gene Regulation by Histone, Non-Histone Proteins and Hormones; 11. Post-transcriptional and Post-translational Regulation; 12. Gene-protein System; 13. Protein-phenotype System; 14. Genetic Analysis of Development of Cell Cycle; 15. Tissue Differentiation and Pattern Formation; 16. Homeotic Genes; 17. Genetic Control of Gametogenesis; 18. Double Fertilization, Embryo and Endosperm Development; 19. Seed Storage Proteins, Diversity Controal and Synthesis; 20. Gene Amplification; 21. Penetrance, Expressivity, Phenocopies and Pleiotropy; 22. Dosage Compensation and Sex-determination; 23. Developmental Homeostasis; 24. Morphogenesis. |
