The NPBL idea: We can 'bring a new focus and a new intensity' to ag research [p] 4
When it's winter in the feed lot: Animal scientists plan 'most intensive' work on cold stress in U.S. for NPBL [p] 7
Of mice and the rest of life: To learn about stress, study a mouse. Then extrapolate what you learn to us [p] 9
New strength in the 'basics': Discoveries in biology are the basis of progress in all agricultural areas [p] 11
Potential to expend: Horticultural industry, a $134 million business, it at the threshold of growth [p] 13
