Notes: Abstract This paper presents a current view of the genomic and neuroendocrine interaction based on our studies of the reproductive system in the platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus). It also presents observations from basic research and applied biologists on natural and artificially reared fishes and indicates that there is a direct genetic involvement in the control of spawning, growth rates, size and age at maturation and final body size, similar to that described in platyfish. The past, present and future association of aquaculture and basic science, especially DNA technology, is discussed and potential directions for future research are presented.

Notes: A series of rapidly dividing epithelial (RDE) cell lines have been isolated from primary cultures of rat ventral prostate (RVP) epithelial cells. Unlike androgen-dependent secretory epithelial cells, the RDE cells in culture do not express the androgen-dependent secretory proteins, nor do they express the androgen-repressed cell death sequences (TRPM-2) found in the epithelial cells during prostatic regression. Screening of a cDNA clone library established from RDE cell mRNA has yielded a number of RDE cell-specific sequences. One of these, RDE-.25 is a 250-base mRNA. The sequence of RDE-.25 shows considerable homology with the rat growth hormone gene and two murine oncogene sequences. We believe that the absence of androgen-repressed cell death sequence expression confers androgen independence for survival and growth, while the expression of RDE-.25 may represent an autocrine growth stimulus which greatly increases the rate of cell division in these cells.
