X Abstract

A theory is proposed for the development of filamentous organisms, based on the assumptions that the filaments are composed of cells which undergo changes of state under inputs they receive from their neighbors, and the cells produce outputs as determined by their state and the input they receive. Cell division is accounted for by inserting two new cells in the filament to replace a cell of a specified state and input. Thus growing filaments are obtained which exhibit various developmental patterns, like constant apical pattern, non-dividing apical zone, and banded patterns. In this first part of this study the inputs are considered to pass only in one direction along the filament. Formal set-theoretical statement of the assumptions, and of some of the theorems derivable from them, is included.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
