Abstract
This paper presents both a general review on developmental biomechanics and a concrete proposition for the computation of a symmetry breaking instability of a model of biological development in terms of self-organization theory. The necessary biological and physical facts taken from the literature are described and discussed in the context of a unified statement of the problems for mathematical modeling of pattern formation. This is then applied to planar cell polarization (PCP) of the Drosophila wing. In this way, the process is modeled by an elastopolarization equation. In terms of this statement, the mechanical specificity (interaction with basal plate) of wing PCP is characterized. Some aspects of modeling somite formation as well as other developmental processes are also concerned.
