Developmental biology is seemingly well understood, with
development widely accepted as being a series of programmed changes
through which an egg turns into an adult organism, or a seed
matures into a plant. However, the picture is much more complex
than that: is it all genetically controlled or does environment
have an influence? Is the final adult stage the target of
development and everything else just a build-up to that point? Are
developmental strategies the same in plants as in animals? How do
we consider development in single-celled organisms? In this
concise, engaging volume, Alessandro Minelli, a leading
developmental biologist, addresses these key questions. Using
familiar examples and easy-to-follow arguments, he offers fresh
alternatives to a number of preconceptions and stereotypes,
awakening the reader to the disparity of developmental phenomena
across all main branches of the tree of life.
