Microbiology

(noun)

The differentiation of tissues and growth in organisms.

Examples of morphogenesis in the following topics:

  • Northern Blots

    • With Northern blotting it is possible to observe cellular control over structure and function by determining the particular gene expression levels during differentiation, morphogenesis, as well as abnormal or diseased conditions.
  • RNA Regulation and Antisense RNA

    • Furthermore, it is the key determinant in cellular differentiation and morphogenesis.
  • Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System

    • The zygote then implants itself in the wall of the uterus, where it begins the process of embryogenesis and morphogenesis.
  • Congenital Defects

    • A congenital disorder may be the result of genetic abnormalities, the intrauterine (uterus) environment, errors of morphogenesis, infection, or a chromosomal abnormality.
  • Auxins, Cytokinins, and Gibberellins

    • Plant hormones are a group of unrelated chemical substances that affect plant morphogenesis.
