Excerpt from Proceedings of the 36th Southern Pasture and Forage Crop Improvement Conference: May 1-3, 1979, Beltsville, Maryland Since 1974, a powerful new technique for microbial genetic engineering, in vitro recombinant dna formation, has permitted the development of a new type of mutant strain. These recombinant dna strains must be regarded as mutants of the original parent, since their overall genetic composition is still more than 99% that of their progenitor. They differ from the earlier man - made mutants, however, in that the last to of the gene structure may contain additional types of genes, including some that might never be introduced by natural gene transfer processes. As a result, they may (1) exhibit metabolic capabilities that are qualitatively different from those of the unmutated parent; (2) offer qualitatively new types of human benefits, such as the production of eukaryotic gene products by prokaryotic microbial fermentations or development of more efficient and effective insect biolog ical control agents to protect the world's food crops in lieu of a number of non-selective and dangerous chemical insecticides.

The Southern Pasture and Forage Crop Improvement Conference is a yearly gathering of agricultural scientists, industry professionals, and farmers who are dedicated to improving the production and quality of forage crops in the United States. This volume contains the proceedings of the 41st Conference, which took place in Memphis, Tennessee in 1988. The papers presented cover a wide range of topics, from soil fertility and plant breeding to grazing management and pest control. Anyone interested in the science of growing healthy and productive forage crops will find this volume to be an invaluable resource.
