About this title

Synopsis

The purpose of this symposium is partly to clarify and define specific aspects of reproduction at different levels of biological organization, and partly, in common with other symposium held by the Society, to stimulate interaction between various intellectual approaches to a broad phenomenon of common interest. Whether or not a cell reproduces true to parental type, or whether a cell reproduces at all are issues of fundamental interest in developmental biology. Reproduction of a cell is impossible without reproduction of molecules, but the kinds of molecules reproduced and the conditions effecting reproduction are dependent upon the intracellular pattern of molecular organization and the influence of the environment on the metabolic poise of the cell. The production of a chlorophyll molecule, for example, may be fully stated in terms of the enzymes in its biosynthetic chain. The reproduction of a chlorophyll molecule is, however, quite a different matter. A necessary condition for reproduction is the transmission of proplastids or plastids from parent cell to offspring. Even if such transmission occurs, the production of chlorophyll remains dependent upon the location of the cell within an appropriate region of the plant. Thus, excluding environmental and mutational factors, a clarification of the phenomenon of chlorophyll reproduction requires the elaboration of certain rules governing the behavior of sub-cellular organelles with respect to transmission, as well as rules governing the development of organelles with respect to cell differentiation.
