The majority of scientists interested in fertilization and early
developmental processes will undoubtably have encountered the works
of Alberto Monroy at some time in their careers. Alberto's
contribution to this field spans oogenesis to embryogenesis, where
he used physiological, biochemical and morphological tools to
answer a number of basic problems in cell biology. This
multi-disciplinary approach, together with his remarkable
intellectual flexibility and humour has had an enormous impact on
this field and all those fortunate enough to have worked with him.
The chapters in this book have been divided into four sections. The
initial presentations revolve around late events of gameteogenesis,
that lead to a physiologically mature gamete. Probably the most
exciting area for research at the moment is the identification of
the cytoplasmic mechanisms responsible for the meiotic arrest of
oocytes and the factors responsible for initiating their maturation
(Chapters 3 and 4). Less is known about the physiological changes
in the male gamete in preparation for fertilization and this may be
identified as a major area for future research. Although comparable
data for the plant kingdom is presently restricted to studies on
marine algae, new techniques for isolating angiosperm gametes
(Chapters 1 and 17) promise rapid advances in this field. The
second section looks at the events and molecules involved in gamete
recognition, binding and fusion. One of the most controversial
topics is when does sperm-egg fusion actually occur (Chapter 14).
