The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the myeloid and lymphoid derived organ/tissue systems of the blood and other parts of the body over time, from formation to the mature structure. The site of hemopoiesis is variable during development, but occurs primarily in bone marrow or kidney in many adult vertebrates. Any process of regulating the production and elimination of erythrocytes within an organism. The process by which a myeloid precursor cell acquires specialized features of an erythrocyte without a nucleus. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. Any biological process involved in the maintenance of the steady-state of cell number within a population of cells. The process by which a myeloid precursor cell acquires specializes features of an erythrocyte with a nucleus, as found in non-mammalian vertebrates such as birds. Erythrocyte differentiation which occurs as part of the process of definitive hemopoiesis. Erythrocyte differentiation which occurs as part of the process of primitive hemopoiesis. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of erythrocyte differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of erythrocyte differentiation. The process aimed at the progression of an erythrocyte over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process by which a myeloid precursor cell acquires specializes features of an erythrocyte. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of erythrocyte differentiation. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized myeloid precursor cell acquires the specialized features of any cell of the myeloid leukocyte, megakaryocyte, thrombocyte, or erythrocyte lineages.
