Germline development: [Symposium on Germline Development, held at the Ciba Foundation, London, 20-22 July, 1993] - 182

Connects classical cellular descriptive studies with more recent work on the molecular and genetic aspects regarding germline development.

Prominent scientists discuss research on a range of organisms including insects, worms, birds, fish, amphibia, mammals and green algae.

Specification of germ cells, their migration to the gonads and subsequent interactions with the soma and evolutionary factors of their segregation are among the topics covered.
