Definition of morphogenesis in English: morphogenesisnoun ˌmɔːfə(ʊ)ˈdʒɛnɪsɪsˌmɔrfəˈdʒɛnəsəs mass noun1Biology
The origin and development of morphological characteristics. Example sentencesExamples - Light is important for plant growth and morphogenesis, affecting germination, seedling development, shade avoidance, flowering, and photosynthesis.
- Cell adhesion and cell separation are important in the morphogenesis and development of higher plants.
- Rapid progress has been made in the understanding of key genetic elements controlling plant morphogenesis during the past few years.
- During morphogenesis at any developmental stage, all plant cells require modifications of the cell wall structure.
- While this process may be gradual in different cell types, certain cells undergo very rapid and complex morphogenesis.
2Geology
The formation of landforms or other structures. Example sentencesExamples - Function addresses the issue of how the structure was selected to perform one or several activities, while fabrication deals with the biophysical processes acting during the morphogenesis of the structure.
- But with the summer sun only 15° from overhead, and even the winter sun well above the horizon, how did mid-latitude periglacial morphogenesis work?
Derivatives adjective ˌmɔːfə(ʊ)dʒəˈnɛtɪkˌmɔrfədʒəˈnɛdɪk Biology The computational model can extrapolate the morphogenetic movements of human organs such as the eye, heart, lung etc. Example sentencesExamples - The best method would be to model intrinsic morphogenetic processes, which directly control the shape and size of chambers, including the localization of apertures.
- We also see evidence that it is a relatively new gene, one that is taking over a morphogenetic function that may have been carried out by several other more primitive genes in the ancestral insect.
adjective ˌmɔːfə(ʊ)ˈdʒɛnɪkˌmɔrfoʊˈdʒɛnɪk Biology Relating to the origin and development of morphological characteristics. a syndrome characterized by a large spectrum of morphogenic and congenital anomalies Example sentencesExamples - Bone morphogenic protein is a relatively new, genetically engineered protein recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
- This bone morphogenic protein stimulates the cells and forms bone.
- Regardless of the sensory pathway through which stem shortening is elicited, the morphogenic effect is important regarding crop canopy dynamics and light competition between developing plants.
