What's new in BeanRef?
----------------------

- The Cytogenetics section has been revised with more details and
  references about chromosome number, size, nuclear DNA amount,
  karyotype, and molecular cytogenetics.

  Thanks to Dr. Nagl there is a minireview about the polytene 
  chromosomes of Phaseolus and other organisms with many references 
  from literature.
  
- The search in BeanRef is no longer restricted to keywords, but 
  is performed as a fulltext search.

- Pages of BeanRef got a background color and the navigation bar on 
  top of each page is exchanged by graphical elements. 



One year after
--------------
BeanRef came into being in August 1995. Since this time there is
a continous increase in the number of references and links as well as 
a development in the user interface. Although I got very few comments 
from BeanRef readers so far, I hope to fullfill your demands for an
up-to-date information system.



What is 'BeanRef'?

available information to different aspects of research on beans
