Proceedings of a symposium in Beltsville, MD, May 1988 held to consider recent and future research in identifying the estimated 5-50 million species of living organisms (about 1.7 million are now known), and in preserving the germplasm of plants, animals, and micro- organisms, in relation to national and international agricultural issues. The 27 papers address: delineation of issues, basic research and germplasm status, germplasm utilization, collection, and data management, and international issues and linkages. Some of the topics are ownership of genetic material, threatened habitats in Central America, germplasm exchange, gene transfer in plants, prokaryote diversity, programs in the US and in China, and ethical and policy implications.
