A full listing of Turing's scientific papersThe detailed listing is split between four webpages, corresponding to the four volumes of the Turing Collected Works.

Morphogenesis: published papers
Alan Turing's only published paper in this field was:
- The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. London B 237 pp 37-72 (1952)
Reproduced in this volume of the Collected Works.
Typographically reset in the Impact volume, with many commentaries.
Scan of Turing's own offprint in the Turing Digital Archive.
This volume of the Collected Works then includes- A Diffusion Reaction Theory of Morphogenesis in Plants,
written with the botanist C. W. Wardlaw.
This typescript went unpublished, but Wardlaw later published A commentary on Turing's diffusion-reaction theory of morphogenesis, New Phytol. 52, pp 40-47.
Morphogenesis: the unpublished manuscripts
At his death, Alan Turing left a pile of unfinished work, some of which was in collaboration with his research students N. E. Hoskin and B. Richards. These manuscripts are now in the Turing Archive. The editor of this volume of the Collected Works, P. T. Saunders, added his editing of Turing's manuscripts on the Morphogen Theory of Phyllotaxis, divided into
- I. Geometrical and Descriptive Phyllotaxis
- II. Chemical Theory of Morphogenesis
- III. (with B. Richards) A Solution of the Morphogenetic Equations for the Case of Spherical Symmetry
- Outline of the Development of the Daisy
The Impact volume covers roughly the same material, but with many further annotations and commentaries by leading experts.
