Specifically, I want to control yellow rust in a trial of Septoria tritici on wheat. There used to be one called benodanil (sold in the U.K. as Calirus) but it went out of production some years ago. Are there any more recent products that I could use? (This is an experimental trial, not for commercial production.) James Brown _______________________________________________________ Dr J. K. M.

Oxycarboxin is made by Uniroyal and sold in the UK as an emulsifiable concentrate, Ringmaster, by RP Amenity (= subsidiary of Rhone-Poulenc) and as a wettable powder, Plantvax 75, by Fargro. Several people recommended Calirus, if one can get hold of the stuff (it went out of production in the late '70s - someone kindly sent me a sample, and the packet gives an application rate in pounds per acre!) Either Calirus or an oxycarboxin fungicide, plus Calixin to control mildew, would seem to be a good combination. An agronomist recommended fenpropimorph (e.g. Corbel) + tridemorph (e.g. Calixin) if one is prepared to tolerate limited damage to Septoria.

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.

I've checked the archives, from which I see that about three junk mails are being sent to Rust-Mil each month, advertising various things. The person who complained about junk mail asked me if I would consider moderating the list (i.e. checking mails for relevance before they're posted to the list). Do other members of Rust-Mil consider that the amount of junk mail justifies someone moderating the list? The down-side to this is that postings will inevitably be delayed, especially when I'm on holiday.

In case this sounds obscure, I should point out that almost every survey sample in Europe is taken using either Golden Promise or Pallas. Both, of course, have Mla8.

You may want to consider getting some stock now while its relatively low. This is a mutual fund of strictly internet-related companies that have the most potential to grow, given the exploding growth of this new business medium. As a financial advisor, my business is the long-term prudent accumulation of wealth for my family, and the families of about 250 of our neighbors. I work with clients all over the U.S. If you think I can be any help to you, feel free to call me.

Well, although many investigators used the cultivars you mention, someone might argue that there are a lot of others without known r-gene. - However, there may be other, more basic points to the story and to the use of the established wording.=20 One of them relates to 'fixation' of an allele which we know means that no other allele(s) for this locus exists in the population. The term is used quite frequently in our field of research, but who can say anything on fixed alleles for virulence or avirulence for populations of e.g. powdery mildews and rusts? It is not even the tip of an iceberg that we are able to investigate with these populations ! The established wording comes from the analysis of other populations that are often by ten orders of magnitude or more smaller than the populations considered in our business. Keeping this in mind, we should change our wording. We could say, if this is the case, that the frequency of an allele is close to 100%. At a recent Conference of COST 817 in Prague we discussed this point in Working Group 1, a comment on which can be found in the minutes. I would not be surprised if there were differences in the frequency of Va8 across Europe, which would be indeed interesting to know.=20 It may sound too strict, but I believe it is correct to say that no fixation of any allele for virulence or avirulence can be expected in populations such as the cereal mildews due to both, population size and the extent of gene flow among vast areas. This was pointed out in more detail in a recent paper with Pavel Barto=9A (Limpert, E., & Barto=9A, P., 1997.= Analysis of pathogen virulence as decision support for breeding and cultivar choice. In: Resistance of crop plants against fungi, ed. H. Hartleb, H. Heitefuss and H-H. Hoppe, Fischer, Jena, 401-424). Best wishes to you, Bob, in Helsinki! I am looking forward to further comments on this matter.

I got reply from 7 colleagues, and all agreed that the plural should be "formae speciales", since "specialis" is the female/male form of the adjective "specialis". About the abbreviation there is less agreement: I was informed that the CBE Manual of style (6th edition) says: ff.sp but the Dictionary of Fungi (8th edition 1995) says: ff.spp. Since spp. is also used to indicate the plural of species (noun), it seems maybe more logical to use ff.sp ?

I received two replies to the questions. Christoph L=F6wer (in Giessen, Germany) told me that he has found less than 1% avirulence towards Mla8 in his Turkish samples, but he thinks the avirulence he does see could be due to contamination (and presumably all the other naughty things mildew gets up to in virulence tests). Mogens Hovm=F6ller (Flakkerbjerg, Denmark) has tested several thousand isolates from Igri (Mlra) over the last few years, and hasn't found any that are avirulent on Pallas. This just leaves the rest of Europe... Eckhard Limpert (Z=FCrich, Switzerland) made some comments about what we mea= n by 'fixation'. Essentially, his point seems to be that it is extremely unlikely that a virulence allele will be fixed (all the members of the population have the virulence allele), and anyway it is impossible to test the whole population. =20 This reminds me of the definition of a polymorphism. The definition I was taught as an undergraduate was that a gene is polymorphic if different alleles exist in that population at a frequency significantly greater than the mutation rate. Presumably an allele should therefore be considered fixed if the gene isn't polymorphic. Thanks to those that did reply, and I hope the weather wherever you are is as nice as it is in Helsinki at the moment.
