The Annual Beltsville Symposium provides a forum for interaction
among scientists involved in research that is vitally important to
agri culture and to the agricultural sciences. The Twelfth
Symposium in this series focused on the unifying biochemical and
physiological mechan isms controlling growth and development of
biological systems - ani mals, plants insects. Unraveling the
complex biochemical mechanisms associated with the sequencing of
organism growth and development and identifying, locating, and
manipulating key control mechanisms are essential in utilizing the
full potential of biotechnology for improving the composition and
quality of agricultural products and the profitability of
agriculture. Accordingly, speakers directed their remarks to basic
aspects of biological mechanisms in their area of specialization
with considera tion given to current status, future direction,
potential impact, and limitations to progress. The Symposium
addressed fundamental questions in: -Tissue specific gene
regulation: cell division and differentiation -Mechanisms for
regulating hormone concentration -Hormonal regulation of growth and
development -Non-hormonal regulation of growth and development
-Nutritional regulation of growth and development Because the
backgrounds of the symposium attendees covered a wide spectrum in
the basic biological and physical sciences, each topic was
introduced by a brief overview, but general reviews were avoided in
favor of findings from on-going research projects. The symposium
brought together a distinguished group of invited scientists from
around the world who are leaders. Many attendees made poster
presentations which increased the exchange of ideas and sti mulated
informal discussion."
