The formation of the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm during gastrulation. The formation of the endoderm during gastrulation. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the endoderm over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The endoderm is the innermost germ layer that develops into the gastrointestinal tract, the lungs and associated tissues. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an endoderm cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates of the endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm as a part of gastrulation. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an endoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become part of the endoderm.
