The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

The list content of "Host Plants of Powdery Mildew Fungi and Their Distribution by Country", a part of this book, is particularly the useful and valuable guidline for the research and researchers, because of long-year products of accurate and detailed survey of the literatures on host plants and powdery mildew fungi. The data base of the list content in the book is now available for computer processing, which can lead to simpler and more time-saving survey. Anyone can access to this data base covering 9838 host plant species of the powdery mildew fungi (9176 dicots and 662 monocots) listed in the book of Dr. K. Amano. As the data source has been extensively added after the publication of this book, we would like to be responded with the supplementation of data published in the last decade. It is greatly appreciated if you kindly inform them to us by sending reprint or copy of the concerned reports. We also would like to thank you for telling us any mistake and inconvenience in the present version of the data base. We are grateful to Dr. Koji Amano and Japan Scientific Society Press for kind permission of constructing and offering to public use of this data base. Some students of Lab. of Plant Pathology, Mie University, assisted us to construct the data base. These include Masao Arakawa, Tetsuya Hirata, Yukiko Komiya, Tomohiro Mitsui and Hanako Ito. --------------------------------------- CONTENTS (6 FILES) --------------------------------------- This data base contains six files, in which three kinds of file format are available as data base. 1. Readme (Japanese) 2. Readme (English) --- this file 3. PMhost.excel.sylk Microsoft Excel 5.0 file. The list content "Host Plants of Powdery Mildew Fungi and Their Distribution by Country", a part of the book "Host Range and Geographical Distribution of the Powdery Mildew Fungi" (by Dr. K. Amano, Japan Scientific Society Press, Tokyo, Japan,1986) was converted into Excel file. You are noted that more than one cell were allotted to the name of counries as needed. The country names were described according to the Amano's book in 1986. 4. PMhost.filemaker Filemaker Pro 3.0 file. Several modification of the data description was made on the Excel file and converted to Filemaker described as follows; 1) It has been processed to deleate synomyns of plant listed as supplemented data in the original description, since the procedure of surveying the list by computer has been simplified by the deleating. 2) Abbreviations of the generic name of plants and fungi were converted into full spell. 3) Card layout and table layout are available in the data base. 5. PMhost.text text file The data content in the PMhost.filemaler was conveted into text file. you can convert the file into another file format that is available for your computer. 6. reference.word Microsoft Word 5.1 file Reference list which are included in the Amano's book. These references are available at The National Science Museum of Japan, because most of them were donated there by Dr. K. Amano. ---------------------------------------------------- HOW TO OBTAIN THE BOOK ---------------------------------------------------- The book "Host Range and Geographical Distribution of the Powdery Mildew Fungi" (K.

One (the conventional/conservative) view is that a pathogen has to be obligate to be a biotroph. The other view is that the two terms actually describe different properties. Being obligate is actually an attribute independent of biotrophy since biotrophy concerns the way in which the pathogen extracts nutrients from the host (i.e by not killing it first) whereas being obligate merely describes our inability to culture the organism in the absence of the host. It does not help the progresive cause that Agrios favours the conservative view. Cladosporium fulvum was the issue of contention. Of course, none of us actually work with this organism but stick to non-controversial beasties like Blumeria graminis, but that does not seem to prevent people from having entrenched views. I would be interested in hearing views on this matter. david David B.

In Hollidays Dictionary he quotes Lewis 1973 "an organism entirely dependant upon another living organism as a source of nutrients". I would put Cladosporium in this because it grows on healthy living tomato leaf tissue. Clad can also grow in culture of course and that's why we work on it. Erysiphe (to reopen another wound) is obligate and biotrophic. We all agree on that. But what if someone found out how to make it grow in culture. Would that make it a necrotroph. I think not. The underlying assumption of biotrophy is unfettered growth by the pathogen in a unresponding and unaware plant - the cat burglar analogy. It has been clear for many years now that plants in compatible biotrophic reactions do display resistance but that it is too slow or too weak to affect the outcome. This is presumably why we see degrees of resistance. There is a fight going on and the fight can be hotter -necrotrophic - or colder - biotrophic -- Professor Richard Oliver Carlsberg Laboratory, Dept. of Physiology Gamle Carlsberg Vej 10, DK-2500 Valby, Denmark Phone: +45 33 27 52 25, Fax: +45 33 27 47 66, PLEASE NOTE NEW Email: rpo@crc.dk From BIOSCI-REQUEST Thu Feb 26 06:42:10 1998 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12-r-beta/8.6.6) id GAA14880; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 06:42:10 -0800 Received: from bquest.botany.utoronto.ca (bquest.botany.utoronto.ca [128.100.165.100]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12-r-beta/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA14877; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 06:42:09 -0800 Received: from server.botany.utoronto.ca (server.botany [128.100.165.253]) by bquest.botany.utoronto.ca (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA16014 for ; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 09:40:34 -0500 Received: from BOTANY/MAILQUEUE by server.botany.utoronto.ca (Mercury 1.21); 26 Feb 98 09:36:56 EST Received: from MAILQUEUE by BOTANY (Mercury 1.21); 26 Feb 98 09:36:14 EST From: "Michele C.

Heath" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.31 Message-ID: <44A93108E3@server.botany.utoronto.ca> Dear David, Re: biotrophy. >From its derivation, the term biotrophy relates purely to the mode of nutrition of the organism - i.e. it gets its food from living host cells (see papers in the 1970's by David Lewis). Therefore, it is possible to have "hemibiotrophic" parasites, as described by Luttrell, that switch from a biotrophic mode of parasitism to a necrotrophic mode during their life cycle (e.g. Colletotrichum lindemuthianum). These hemibiotrophs grow easily in culture. To define as biotrophic only organisms that are obligate symbionts is to take away the usefulness of the term. For example, I have found that even some so-called necrotrophs can grow for short periods of time in living host cells; if the parasite is obtaining food from the living cell, then as far as I am concerned, it is growing biotrophically. From a cell biology point of view, it is obvious that organisms that grow in living tissue, and particularly inside living cells, have some special features as a group. These include preventing the hypersensitive response as well as other defenses. As well, biotrophs tend to induce significant cellular changes in susceptible host cells that presumably facilitate nutrient acquisition. Whether we can grow these organisms in culture is irrelevant to the definition of biotrophy regardless of what Agrios states. The fact that some biotrophs ARE difficult to culture is an indication that their interaction with their hosts has evolved to such a degree that their continued development is linked to signals from the plant. I am not aware of anyone who works on the cell biology of biotrophs who considers that a biotroph has to be an obligate parasite. Thus, the colleagues in my department who work with Cladosporium fulvum consider the fungus to be a biotroph. Michele Heath **************** Michele C. Heath, Ph.D. F.R.S.C.

In which case, an unresponding and unaware plant would still have bits of it going brown and dropping off. My impression is that the resistant plants don't show necrosis, whereas the susceptible ones do, and ironic inversion of what Richard wrote. Before anyone complains, I am simplifying the argument. But I get the impression that Richard thinks that the HR is the main response to any pathogen. If this were true, then the plant would only be helping the necrotrophs by expressing resistance!
