Gordon Research Conference on Chronobiology, 1991
Abstract
The 1991 Gordon Conference on Chronobiology was held at the Swabian Conference Center in Irsee, Germany, from September 29 to October 4, 1991. The possibility of holding the conference in Europe was known at the previous (1989) meeting, and conferees voted to do so if the opportunity materialized. Probably more than most, the field of chronobiology embraces many subdisciplines, ranging from molecular biology and genetics to physiology and ecology. It is also diverse in terms of biological material, including all Kingdoms and spanning the phylogenetic spectrum. It is relevant to many specific missions, such as medicine and pharmacology, agriculture and insect control, as well as marine biology and oceanography. The program (attached) thus reflects the wish and the willingness of workers in this area to consider a diversity of functions and a diversity of systems, ranging from nitrogen fixation in bacteria, photosynthesis and luminescence in marine dinoflagellates and CAB gene expression in wheat, to conidiation in Neurospora, eclosion in Drosophila, and activity in rodents and man.
