Fish Pheromones and Related Cues
Pheromones are chemical cues that go among contributors of a similar species that express particular, adaptive information. those cues, and similar chemical substances whose functionality are much less good outlined, are particularly very important to fishes as a result of their aquatic environments and complicated behaviors. Pheromones also are of accelerating curiosity in either simple and utilized points of fish biology simply because they are often used to control fish habit and will clarify phenomena corresponding to fishery cave in.

Foreign agricultural assistance program in 1943—the Mexican Government-Rockefeller Foundation Cooperative Agricultural Program—which I joined in 1944 as a young scientist assigned to wheat research and development. Wallace would visit our research program in Mexico from time to time. He liked to tease me, asking, “what’s a good Iowa farm boy like you, Norman, messing around with a crop like wheat? ” The last time I saw him was in 1963 at the 50th Anniversary celebration of the Rockefeller Foundation.
In the new blue revolution, water-use productivity must be wedded to land-use productivity. New science and technology must lead the way. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BIOTECHNOLOGY? In the last 20 years, biotechnology based upon recombinant DNA has developed invaluable new scientific methodologies and products in food and agriculture. This journey deeper into the genome—to the molecular level—is the continuation of our progressive understanding of the workings of nature. Recombinant DNA methods have enabled breeders to select and transfer single genes, which has not only reduced the time needed in conventional breeding to eliminate undesirable genes, but also allowed breeders to access useful genes from other distant taxonomic groups.
Organized international germplasm exchange and testing only began in the early 1950s, in response to a devastating stem rust epidemic in wheat in North America, caused by race 15 B, to which all commercial varieties were susceptible. Faced with this crisis of epidemic proportions, the departments of agriculture in the United States and Canada appealed to other research programs in the Americas, to exchange a broad range of their best early- and advanced-generation breeding materials, and to test these materials at many locations simultaneously.
