Abstract
An inhibitory zone mechanism generates the heterocyst pattern in Anabaena. These inhibitory zones can be measured; we find that they extend about five cells on either side of a heterocyst. We can use our observations to predict with reasonable accuracy which cells in the filaments will differentiate into heterocysts.Mesh:
