Abstract

We investigate the general conditions for morphogenesis. It is found that not only the Turing condition shall be satisfied, but also that some other requirements must be fulfilled. Their physical meaning is that the system should have more than one stationary state. In biological terms this means that the competence of differentiation is necessary in order to finish the morphogenesic process. These ideas are illustrated by a simple mathematical model. For this model the bifurcation analysis and computer results are discussed. Furthermore the parametric regulation of the morphogenesis is considered in connection with the role played by the genetic information.
