Abstract
Predetermination, formation, and maintenance of the primary morphogenetic gradient (bicoid, bcd) of the early Drosophila embryo involves many interrelated processes. Here we focus on the biological systems analysis of the bcd mRNA redistribution in an early embryo. The results of the quantitative analysis of experimental data, together with the results of their dynamic modeling, substantiate the role of active transport in the redistribution of the bcd mRNA. The role of the nonlinearity of degradation mechanisms in the mRNA pattern robustness is discussed.
