Message-ID: <23latd$oia@uniwa.uwa.edu.au> Date: 3 Aug 93 09:25:01 GMT Organization: The University of Western Australia Lines: 39 NNTP-Posting-Host: uniwa.uwa.edu.au X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Hello to all those people who replied to my request on research into complex hybridity. I will attempt to provide a few definitions but please feel free to yell at me for assumptions that you don't understand. I also hasten to add that the Guru is away at the moment (going to the Birmingham Genetics Conference) and I may not give a full and complete rendition of this topic to the uninitiated. Basically complex hybridity is an uncommon genetic system that combines multiple interchange heterozygosity (aka reciprocal translocations), autogamy, and a balanced lethal system. This system is best known from the work on Oenothera by many (or to those from my lab is known from a little herbacious plant that grows on granite outcrops in central Australia called Isotoma petraea) A complex heterozygote is defined by Renner (1917) as being one whose gametes have numerous differences which segregate as a unit. To those of you who still haven't understood a word of this don't worry too much. As I have said it is a little known genetic system that though very exciting to work on is very difficult to make any sense of. I would also like to say on that note that I can provide a list of references to anyone who is interested in discovering the wonders of complex hybridity and to those who work on similar systems I would appreciate any comments. I hope someone out there can help me if possible to discover if anyone has done any molecular (as in RFLPs, sequencing, in situ hybridisation, RAPDs, restriction analysis etc) type of work on complex hybrids or anything on interchange heterozygotes. Is there anyone who has done genic heterozygosity in these things???? (Other than Isozymes) Thanks in advance Michelle ** mitch@uniwa.uwa.edu.au ** From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Wed Aug 04 23:00:00 1993 Path: biosci!uwm.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!darwin.sura.net!uvaarpa!murdoch!hopper!adamf From: adamf@hopper.ACS.Virginia.EDU (Adam Finkelstein) Newsgroups: bionet.general,bionet.population-bio,bionet.software Subject: RE: Breeding:Performance Evaluation Software Message-ID: Date: 5 Aug 93 12:38:45 GMT Sender: usenet@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU Organization: U.Va.

St.John's Nfld, Canada Lines: 10 Hi all! I wonder if anyone could point me to a reference that details a method to quantify (as a SINGLE value) the "diversity" of items in a sample as a COMBINATION of a) number of species in the sample, b) number of individuals of each species in the sample and c) biomass of each species in the sample. Ie. some sort of modified Shannon-Weiner index (?).

St.John's Nfld, Canada Lines: 9 Hi again, I have been unsuccessful in tracking down a reference by Lau in 1988 in which he had divised a multimeasure estimate of diet diversity. I think I may have to stick with some estimate which incorporates biomass and species number only. As a final favour, could someone point me to a recent paper which uses something like this? thanks very much!

Initially, work will entail genetic transformation of plants in the species Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica sp. In subsequent years, lab work will be combined with field experiments. In this project, we will investigate how the production of plant defensive compounds affect both plant performance and the evolution of resistance in plant pests. Results will have implications for the risk assessment of transgenic crops. Experience in gene manipulation and plant transformation is desireable but not required. Opportunity to develop independent projects. Duration of postdoctoral position and starting time are both negotiable. If interested, send statement of research interests, CV, reprints and names/ phone numbers of three personal references to Dr. Joy Bergelson, Department of Biology, Box 1137, Washington University, St. Louis, MO 63130. Population Biology of Arabidopsis thaliana Opportunity to join an ongoing program studying the molecular evolution and ecological interactions of natural populations of Arabidopsis thaliana. Research focuses on both patterns and levels of natural genetic variation, as well the ecological consequences of this variation for plant competitive interactions. Initially, work will entail an RFLP study of natural populations. In subsequent years, lab work will be combined with field experiments. Lab experience is desireable but not required.
