Developmental biology is concerned with the processes that helps animals and plants to grow and develop. Some of the major processes related to this field are cell differentiation, regional specification, morphogenesis and tissue growth. This field of study also includes the biology of metamorphosis, regeneration and asexual reproduction. The major developmental processes of the organisms associated with this field are divided into two categories. These are cell differentiation and regeneration. Cell differentiation studies the cell types that arise during development whereas regeneration is the ability to grow a missing part. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Coherent flow of topics, student friendly language and extensive use of examples makes this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
