This meeting was the third in a series devoted to the molecular biology of plants. The initial meeting was held in Strasbourg, France in 1976 (J. Weil and L. Bogorad, organizers), and the second in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1979 (C. Leaver, organizer). As in these previous meetings, we have attempted to cover the major topics of plant molecular biology so as to promote the integration of information emerging at an accelerating rate from the various sub-disciplines of the field. In addition, we have introduced several topics, unique to higher plants, that have not yet been approached with the tools of molec ular biology, but that should present new and important aspects of plants amenable to study in terms of DNA -+ RNA -+ Protein. This meeting also served to inaugerate the new International Society for Plant Molecular Biology. The need for this society is, like the NATO meetings themselves, an indication of the growth, vitalitv and momentum of this field of research. In our opinion the Italy meeting maintained the tradition of exciting, catalytic science and of camaraderie and goodwill that characterized the previous two meetings. We are indebted to the participants for this. We appreciate greatly the financial support of the following organizations: NATO, FEBS, IUBS, The British Council, Italian CNR, AGS, Inc., Agrigenetics, Monsanto, ARCO Plant Cell Research, Cetus Madison, Chevron Chemical, Zoecon, Dupont, Phytogen, U.S. NSF and DOE, University of Georgia, Istituto per il Diritto allo Studio di Universitario Pavia, Istituto G. Donegani S.p.A., Farmitalia Carlo Erba, Ing. G. Terzano & C. S.p.A., Beckman Analytical S.p.A., Banca Popolare di Novara, F.I.A.T. Auto S.p.A., Boehringer Mannheim GmbH and ICI. Without their support this meeting could not have taken place. Further, we are indebted to the young faculty and graduate students of the University of Pavia for their diligent, selfless handling of the ad~inistrative v and logistic aspects of the conference. And finally, we all were fortunate that we were able to gather in the magnificent Lake Garda area of northern Italy. We hope that this volume will prove useful in broadening and sharpening our pers?ective of how plants manage the information in DNA sequence so as to develop, function and reproduce.
