Early embryonic development of many animals and plants is programmed by
maternal gene products that are loaded into the female gamete during
oogenesis. After elimination of a subset of these products,
transcription is initiated and developmental control passes to the
zygotic genome. This handover is referred to as the maternal-to-zygotic
transition (MZT). The temporal regulation of this transition is
remarkably precise and involves the coordination of many cellular
processes, including remodeling of the cell cycle, activation of
checkpoints and dramatic changes in chromatin architecture and DNA
replication control. By uniquely bringing together expertise in the
various areas of this important developmental transition, this EMBO
Workshop aims to generate synergistic insight into how all these
different processes combine to ensure faithful development across
eukaryotes.
