What is the upper limit of number of primers to begin with? 4) Will I have problems convincing people that my RAPD "marker" isn't really an artifact ? What level of consistancy can be reasonably expected? Any imput will be greatly appreciated.

I herewith enclose a synopsis of my Master of Science research in a salt marsh vegetation on a Dutch island. Especially the biology of Limonium vulgare, a perennial salt marsh plant has been studied. These plants occur in a salt marsh community in a coast line with a length of more than ten miles on the Dutch island of Terschelling. This vegetation is called the Planta- gini-Limonietum and consists of two clonal plants: Limonium vulgare and Plantago maritima. Individual clones of these two species often range more than one meter in diameter. It's an amazing and wonderful community: frequently flooded by salt water of the Waddensea, in the summer purple coloured like heather when Limonium plants are flowering, many thick leaved plants (succulent or leather-look leaves) adapted to this salty environment. As some sort of hobby I wrote all this. Besides I made an age analysis of this clonal organism while I wonder if anybody out there has done such a thing before? Should I write a short paper on it? (Who wants to join?) Please feel free to contact me for a chat about salt marshes, the Plantagini-Limonietum, Limonium sp., or whatsoever. Off we go with my salty story: Population Biology of a salt marsh plant (Limonium vulgare) A research about the occurrence of seed, seedlings, life time composition, and damage due to diseases at Boschplaat of the Dutch island of Terschelling. A research about growth an development of L. vulgare at diffe- rent locations in the Dutch province of Zeeland. M.D. de Jong (1980) Dutch Msc.thesis. SUMMARY _Occurrence of Seeds_ Samples of soil in the lower salt marsh were sampled. Seeds were detected by using sieving techniques. Occassional deposi- tions have been found in the lower salt marsh. It was conclu- ded that depositions of seed were mainly onto little eleva- tions in the very low salt marsh. Pattern of deposition of flooding packets on the higher salt marsh have been monitored. On the higher salt marsh many seeds are deposited by flooding packets. _Occurrence of seedlings_ Seedling density is increasing with height from the lower salt marsh towards the high salt marsh. Plants on the high salt marsh don't propagate vegetatively. The observed very high seedling density on the high salt marsh could be necessary for maintaining this local population. Seedlings on the lower salt marsh cause expanding of the population. Their role in the Plantagini-Limonietum is decreasing in favor of vegetative growth. _Life Time Composition_ Life time composition has been studied by an analysis of "year-bumps" (bumpy year rings) of sub-soil stems and scars of flower stalks. The survey site was a little elevation with Spartina townsendii on the lower salt marsh. ............................................................ RESULTS IN FIGURE ... ... `..'^'...: leaves (rosette) current year ( ) year-bump previous year ( ) year-bump year before ............................................................. years years .... ,.... `...: ;,....` \^/ n = scar of flower stalk -1 ( )n () -2 ( )n() () n () -3 ( ) () -3 -4 ( ) () -4 -5 ( ) () -5 -6 ( ) || -7 | | ll /##\\_________/"" " rhizome ............................................................ example of age of clones (in years) in a part of a little elevation: 5 2 ........... 2 lower .......; 1 : ....; higher 4 5 5 6 .......................................................... description of a part of an indivudual clone: year v = vegetative rosette 0 v v v g v g = generative rosette | | | \/ -1 v v v g | \/ | generative rosette was -2 v g v detected by its scar of flower stalk ............................................................. Flowering pattern in time have been described. Results of the age analysis results were leading to the next conclusions {also described in an e-mail entitled: Land recla- mation on a salt marsh by Limonium vulgare} After reaching of a critical height of the elevation, Limonium vulgare is able to coloniz the mud. Due to these colonization patterns, such an elevation has a centre of flowering clones and juvenile plants and seedlings at the edge. _Damage due to Diseases_ A disease survey was performed in the Plantagini-Limonietum. Pattern of spreading of mildew and rust in this natural vege- tation were described. There appeared to be a strange correla- tion between disease severity and flowering frequency: very large clones (diameter of > 1m) with leaves which were heavily invested by rust had significant less flower stalks in the year of investigation. _Growth and Development in Zeeland_ Zeeland has built a new dike and closing dam. This definitely changes flooding frequency and height. A field survey was done in Zeeland emphasizing growth and development of Limonium vulgare. In one location, where flooding had ended, the plants of Limonium vulgare had developed extremely thick stems. Root development was very poor, however. This population will probably extinct soon due to drying out. In one location, flood heightening caused a temporary mortali- ty of plants and a wider variation in rooting depths. The population appeared to be recovering, though. /\ VIRTUALLY, /\/\ /\ /\ Meindert de Jong /\/\/\/\ /\ /\ Tarthorst 195 /\/\ /\/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ 6708 HJ Wageningen /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ /\ /\ The Netherlands /\/\ /\/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ Voice:(+31) 8370 21937 /\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ Fax:(+31) 8370 23110 /\/\ /\/\ /\/\ /\/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ Vlinders@rcl.wau.NL /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Sun Mar 13 22:00:00 1994 Path: biosci!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!uwm.edu!freenet.uwm.edu!freenet.uwm.edu!not-for-mail From: jbarnes@freenet.uwm.edu (Jim Barnes) Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: uspop Date: 13 Mar 1994 15:46:45 -0600 Organization: The Milwaukee FreeNet Lines: 3 Message-ID: <2m01k5$9at@freenet.uwm.edu> Do any of you know of a population simulation program called uspop?

Does the idea of learning (not nearly) all there is to know about field entomology (the study of insects) appeal to you? How does the concept of spending an inordinate quantity of time digging through forest leaf litter on you hands and knees strike you? Well now you can realize these goals and many others in May and June of this year (including your secret fantasy of chasing obscure beetles through the desert)! Applications are currently being accepted for field assistants for the coming summer. Your responsibilities/opportunities will include helping in the search for five species of beetles, all of which are well-integrated guests in the nests of ants of the genus Liometopum in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and California. Additionally, we will carry out a number of behavioral experiments primarily concerned with understanding the integration mechanisms that the beetles use to gain entry into the ants' nests. In return, I will supply gas, transportation, lodging (tents), and a bountiful storehouse of entomological knowledge, as well as sharing with you some of the most breathtaking areas of the United States (sorry, I am unable to provide research assistant stipends). I will be traveling from Lawrence, Kansas through these areas from May 6-20, June 1-21, July 1-14, and August 1-14 (although the exact dates may, and probably will, change as the dates approach; I am and can be somewhat flexible to accomodate your schedule). If you are interested in participating in some or all of this project, email me directly and I will give you the details of the study as well as answer any questions you may have. If you are unable to participate in the project, but know of others who may be, please pass this information on to them. Similarly, if you are on faculty at a university and wouldn't mind helping out, please print this out and post it on your departmental bulletin boards or make your students aware of this opportunity.

THANKS FOR MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN SEND ME A NOTE OR WRITE ADAM DIRECTLY AT ADAM_WERBACH@BROWN.EDU. THANKS TODD HETTENBACH ST000639@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU ========================================================================= HEY FOLKS, We've got a golden, yet rather urgent opportunity on our hands, Adam Werbach, A Junior at Brown has been nominated to the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club. If elected, he will be the first student ever to join the board of a large non-profit group like the Sierra Club. This move would benefit students in a number of ways, among them: 1. It finally gets real student representation in the mainstream environmental movement. Showing "THEM" that students are willing and able to take a leadership role in this crucial time could revitalize the movement which is certainly showing signs of "greying". Hey, the only way we are going to get these big environmental groups to listen to students is to get ourselves elected to these positions. How can an environmental group whose average age is over forty years old be in touch with the student movement? It can't, so we need to change things ourselves. 2. Change. The only way we are going to get people interested in a broader view of environmentalism is by getting folks who care elected. We need students with fresh ideas on the boards, not just the people who have been in the environmental movement for over thirty years. To paraphrase a bit of election rhetoric, it's time for a change. BUT WHY ADAM? Whelp, Adam has been working with and trying to change the Sierra Club since he was seven years old. He started circulating a petition to oust James Watt from office and now, fourteen years later, just finished a campaign to defeat NAFTA. Three years ago, Adam founded the Sierra Student Coalition, the student branch of the Sierra Club. Since its inception the SSC has become one of the most effective voices of student environmentalism as well as a source of energy and an impetus for change within the Club. The thousands of local contacts and coordinators which make up both the high school and college networks have produced results never before imagined possible. The SSC's lead education campaign has tackled issues of environmental justice and public health which were outside the realm of traditional environmentalism. The current Sustainability Campaign, with its merger of women's issues and environmental issues, has brought new angles to the rather simplistic (and sometimes racist) old-school population control proposals. Adam's leadership and saavy were by the Sierra Club and other mainstream environmental groups. Having served on the Sierra Club's national Membership Committee has given Adam the opportunity to participate in high level decision making within the Club. He has learned how to make things happen and how to get people to listen to the issues which students care about. Given the chance, he has put the student agenda first: new, energetic campaigns, increased diversity, and a shifting focus on people and tangible ideas rather than abstract notions and faraway places WHAT YOU CAN DO: As was noted at the top of the page, spread the word. Copy this note to as many people as possible, read this message at meetings, and make sure that everyone you know knows about this. The only way we are going to win this is through grassroots, democratic action. The other folks have a lot more money and pull, we need to counter that with with a swift electronic and social distribution effort. PLEASE forward this message electronically to as many people as you can. It's the surest way that we can get a victory in this important race. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU RECEIVE A SIERRA CLUB BALLOT IN THE MAIL, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RETURN IT WITH ONLY ADAM'S NAME MARKED OFF. By voting only for one candidate, you quintuple your voting power and make a bigger difference.

I have a botanist's training and been working in electron microscopy, mainly transmission EM. Recently, I have taken on a part-time job at the Vienna-based Austrian Wood Research Institute. There my colleagues and I are embarking on in-situ SEM-observation of deformation and breaking processes of wood. To that end we have acquired a bending unit for SEM ("Biege-Modul", Fa. RAITH, Germany). As is generally know, observing organic matter in the SEM requires coating the objekt with a conductive film, mostly gold. Breaking such material, however, automatically exposes uncoated surfaces to the electron beam and leads to strong electric charging even at a low acceleration voltage (1-3 KV) making observation and documentation impossible. Has anybody got an idea how we could solve this problem? We would be very grateful for every tip we get! Michael Schlag PS: MS is not my undercover-name, but MS is a colleague of mine.

If you have not yet listed yourself in our e-mail address directory, please take a few minutes to complete and return the form below. If your address information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us an updated form. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES WITH WAISMAIL **** E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank. Other methods of searching the archives via WAIS and gopher are described in the BIOSCI FAQ. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending e-mail to biosci-help@net.bio.net (use plain English for your request). The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS and waismail access (waismail is our WAIS e-mail server, more below) and will also be available for access via other gopher sites if they wish to permit it. The raw unindexed data is available for FTP from net.bio.net and is atomized sufficiently to allow import into your local RDBMS should you so desire. Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form below and return it to either of the following two addresses (whichever is more convenient for you). Thanks in advance for taking the time to complete and return the form. Addresses for returning forms Location Network ----------------------------- -------- ------- biovote@net.bio.net U.S.A.

Please do NOT extend your responses past the end of each line (80 characters) or alter any of the field identifiers such as "first name: ". Several lines are provided at the end of the form for comments, but, please adhere to the line length restriction. On the date: line, please enter the date in the DD-MM-YY format, e.g., 05-05-93 for 5 May 1993. This line will tell others when the information was last updated. Please be sure to include the 0's for single digit days or months, e.g., 05-05-93, not 5-5-93. Note that the "e-mail network: " line below is for specifying, e.g., "Internet," "BITNET," "EARN," "JANET," or whatever other network that your computer may be on. If you are uncertain about any field, please feel free to leave it blank, but please DO NOT DELETE the field identifier from the form! In the first field below, "New information or Update ...", please enter "N" if this is the first time that you have registered in the directory or "U" if you are correcting a listing that you sent to us previously. The comment: lines may be used for anything that you like but PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THEM FROM THE FORM OR ALTER THEM. One suggested use is to list the names of the newsgroups in which you participate. Please use the MAILING LIST name (see below - the latest version of the list can be requested from biosci@net.bio.net) instead of the USENET name even if you don't participate by e-mail. WAIS might get confused by the periods in the USENET names. This allows one to retrieve via WAIS or waismail the list of participants in a particular group. For example: comment: ARABIDOPSIS PLANT-BIOLOGY BIONEWS On the comment: lines use these names below ---- NOT the USENET names below MAILING LIST NAME USENET Newsgroup Name ----------------- --------------------- ACEDB-SOFT bionet.software.acedb AGEING bionet.molbio.ageing AGROFORESTRY bionet.agroforestry ARABIDOPSIS bionet.genome.arabidopsis BIOFORUM bionet.general BIO-INFORMATION-THEORY bionet.info-theory BIONAUTS bionet.users.addresses BIONEWS bionet.announce BIO-JOURNALS bionet.journals.contents BIO-MATRIX bionet.molbio.bio-matrix BIO-SOFTWARE bionet.software CHROMOSOMES bionet.genome.chromosomes COMPUTATIONAL-BIOLOGY bionet.biology.computational DROSOPHILA bionet.drosophila EMBL-DATABANK bionet.molbio.embldatabank EMPLOYMENT bionet.jobs GDB bionet.molbio.gdb GENBANK-BB bionet.molbio.genbank GENETIC-LINKAGE bionet.molbio.gene-linkage HIV-MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY bionet.molbio.hiv HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM bionet.molbio.genome-program IMMUNOLOGY bionet.immunology INFO-GCG bionet.software.gcg JOURNAL-NOTES bionet.journals.note METHODS-AND-REAGENTS bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts MOLECULAR-EVOLUTION bionet.molbio.evolution NEUROSCIENCE bionet.neuroscience N2-FIXATION bionet.biology.n2-fixation PHOTOSYNTHESIS bionet.photosynthesis PLANT-BIOLOGY bionet.plants POPULATION-BIOLOGY bionet.population-bio PROTEIN-ANALYSIS bionet.molbio.proteins PROTEIN-CRYSTALLOGRAPHY bionet.xtallography RAPD bionet.molbio.rapd SCIENCE-RESOURCES bionet.sci-resources TROPICAL-BIOLOGY bionet.biology.tropical VIROLOGY bionet.virology WOMEN-IN-BIOLOGY bionet.women-in-bio YEAST bionet.molbio.yeast Listing newsgroups on the comment: line is optional, of course.
