Dasycladales Morphogenesis: The Pattern Formation Viewpoint
The Dasycladalian algae produce diverse whorled structures, among which the best-known are the reproductive whorl (cap) and the vegetative whorls (hair whorls) of Acetabularia acetabulum. The origin of these structures is addressed in terms of three pattern forming mechanisms proposed to explain whorl formation. The mechanisms involve either: mechanical buckling of the cell wall, reaction-diffu...
متن کاملPattern Formation and Morphogenesis ( 1998 ) Modeling Branching and ChiralColonial Patterning
In nature, microorganisms must often cope with hostile environmental conditions. To do so they have developed sophisticated cooperative behavior and intricate communication capabilities, such as: direct cell-cell physical interactions via extra-membrane polymers, collective production of extracellular "wetting" uid for movement on hard surfaces, long range chemical signal-ing such as quorum sen...
متن کامل'Generic' physical mechanisms of morphogenesis and pattern formation.
The role of 'generic' physical mechanisms in morphogenesis and pattern formation of tissues is considered. Generic mechanisms are defined as those physical processes that are broadly applicable to living and non-living systems, such as adhesion, surface tension and gravitational effects, viscosity, phase separation, convection and reaction-diffusion coupling. They are contrasted with 'genetic' ...
متن کاملPattern formation: fruiting body morphogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus.
When Myxococcus xanthus cells are exposed to starvation, they respond with dramatic behavioral changes. The expansive swarming behavior stops and the cells begin to aggregate into multicellular fruiting bodies. The cell-surface-associated C-signal has been identified as the signal that induces aggregation. Recently, several of the components in the C-signal transduction pathway have been identi...
متن کاملParadigms of pattern formation: Towards a computational theory of morphogenesis
The variety of natural patterns makes it difficult to analyze and compare them in a systematic manner. We address this problem by focusing on the computational aspects of pattern formation processes. They are characterized in terms of the number of morphogenetic agents, the computing capability of each agent, and the forms of information transfer between the agents and their environment. This c...
