Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of mesoderm cell fate specification. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a paraxial mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. The process involved in the specification of cell identity. Once specification has taken place, a cell will be committed to differentiate down a specific pathway if left in its normal environment. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an axial mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of mesoderm cell fate specification. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become part of the mesoderm. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of mesoderm cell fate specification. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a lateral mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. 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 series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a transforming growth factor beta receptor binding to one of its physiological ligands and ultimately resulting in the specification of a mesodermal fate. A series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of any member of the BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) family binding to a cell surface receptor and ultimately resulting in an cell becoming specified to adopt a mesodermal fate. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an intermediate mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates of the endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm as a part of gastrulation. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a mesoderm cell.
