Newsgroup Charter: bionet.genome.arabidopsis is a forum primarily for
researchers using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism.  However,
researchers doing genetic or molecular biology research in other plant
systems are also welcome to read and post to the group.  The purpose of the
newsgroup is to enable rapid exchange of information between labs around
the world to facilitate progress in research on Arabidopsis and general
plant biology.

Subscribers are welcome from universities or any academic institutions,
government agencies, medical institutions, and industrial or commercial
organizations.  Contributions within the functions outlined above are
encouraged.

Moderation Policy: Mass-posted commercial messages, chain letters, and
similar postings not germane to the newsgroup charter will be deleted
without comment. Inappropriate messages posted in good faith will be
returned to the sender.  Messages not strictly within the charter but
likely to be of interest to many subscribers (e.g., messages dealing
with products specifically of interest to plant researchers) will be
accepted.  Use of the newsgroup for commercial purposes is prohibited.
