Édouard-Gérard Balbiani (July 31, 1823 – July 25, 1899) was a French embryologist born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He was educated in Frankfurt and Paris. In Paris he studied natural sciences under famed zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (1777-1850). In 1874 he became professor of embryogeny at the Collège de France, where he remained until his death in 1899. Balbiani is known for his work in microbiology as well as his studies in embryology. He is credited with the discovery of sexual organ development in ''Chironomus'' which eventually led to the general theory on the autonomy of the germ cell. Also, he conducted comprehensive biological research on the sexual habits of ''Phylloxera vastatrix''.〔() Science, Vine and Wine in Modern France by Harry W. Paul〕 With anatomist Louis-Antoine Ranvier (1835-1922), he founded the ''Archives d'anatomie microscopique''. In 1884, his daughter Laure Balbiani married psychologist Alfred Binet. == Associated eponyms == * "Balbiani body": cytoplasmatic structure, containing a "cloud" or grouping of mitochondria, that form in early oocytes. * "Balbiani ring": a large chromosome puff, where high levels of transcription occur. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Édouard-Gérard Balbiani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
