Before revision:  In this work, we propose a modified version of the PORD modelin order to overcome this and others inconveniences. By means of numerical simulations and a numerical stability analysis, we demonstrate that the modified PORD model achieves the robustness characteristic of somitogenesis, when the effect of the wavefront is included .
After revision:  In this work, we propose an equivalent Meinhardt-PORD model, and then amend it to couple it with a morphogen wavefront. By doing so, we get a hybrid model between the Meinhardt-PORD and the clock-and-wavefront ones, which overcomes most of the deficiencies of the two originating models .
