c environments by a combination of genetic and
epigenetic changes that control phenotype through control of gene
expression using processes very similar to tissue and organ develop-
ment. The master components that control environmental development
will, by past knowledge, de
fitness to speci
nitely involve hormone-directed epimark
changes.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The work has been generously supported by time and facilities provided
by the WCU program, Gyeongsang National University, Republic of
Korea. We apologize to the authors of many important uncited works
for which space was limited even in this very extensive document. We
thank our numerous colleagues who provided invaluable advice and
debate, and to Rebekah Fagan and Patricia Hunter Bressan for their help
and unlimited patience during the manuscript preparation. This chapter
is dedicated to the memory of Don Denna, Colorado State University. His
voice can still be heard describing the fascinating story of epigenetics
and homeotic mutants in
Drosophila
in his molecular genetics course in
the spring of 1973.
