Hello:
I want to purchase "Arabidopsis: An Atlas of Morphology and Development". However is out of print and I did not find any place were to buy it. Does anybody know where I can get it? In Amazon is unavailable, the same story in Lehle Seeds. Thanks.

Postdoctoral Position Available

Genomic Analysis of Transcriptional Regulation during Carpel Margin
Meristem Development in Arabidopsis

An NSF-funded postdoctoral position to study the development of the
Carpel Margin Meristem (CMM) in Arabidopsis is available in the
laboratory of Dr. Bob Franks in the Department of Genetics at North
Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~rgfranks/index.html

The CMM is a vital meristem that gives rise to the ovules, the
precursors of the seeds. The postdoctoral fellow will employ a variety
of molecular, genetic, and genomic approaches to clarify the functions
of the SEUSS, LEUNIG and AINTEGUMENTA genes in the patterning of the
adaxial carpel margin. See Plant Physiol. 2008 v146(3):1165-81.

Hi folks,

I'm trying to obtain a list of Arabidopsis genes/loci along with a set
of phenotypes resulting from knock-downs, knock-outs, and hypomorphic
alleles at those loci.

I would *prefer* that the phenotypes be somewhat curated. For example,
FlyBase has unique identifiers for almost every phenotype, which is
nice because it's easy to automatically associate two genes with the
same phenotype (as opposed to by hand).

I only just started looking at A. thaliana today, so I'm a bit
ignorant. I've noticed TAIR has phenotypes, but I also found a
disclaimer on the FTP related to just such a tab-separated database
there.
"Note that this only represents the data that is in the TAIR database
and that there are bound to be many more loci with germplasms with
phenotypes."

First of all, what's a germplasm and how is it related to phenotype?
Secondly, most organisms' databases don't have every last phenotype
curated; is it worse with TAIR than with those other DBs, or is this
disclaimer just being overly cautious?

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE:

PLANT STRESS RESPONSES: CALCIUM SIGNALING, REDOX AND NITRIC OXIDE
REGULATION, AUTOPHAGY MECHANISMS
Laboratory of Janet Braam
Biochemistry and Cell Biology
Rice University

A postdoctoral position is available in research to determine the
mechanisms by which plants sense environmental stresses, interpret
calcium signals, and regulate cellular and organismal responses.

A Ph.D. in biological science is required. A strong background in
plant biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and/or genetics is
desired. Research experience in the areas of autophagy,
mitochondrial function, and/or nitric oxide regulation is
advantageous. Excellent communication skills and an ability and
willingness to collaborate are essential. Only highly motivated
individuals with proven track records should apply. Applicants
should send a curriculum vitae, a cover letter describing research
experience and interests, and the names and email addresses for at
least three references to: braam@rice.edu

My lab at the US Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, WI has
recently been awarded a USDA-CSREES-NRI grant to support our research
on the biochemical pathways responsible for o-diphenol biosynthesis
in red clover. This grant includes support for a postdoc position to
start in early 2009. Qualified candidates will have hands-on
experience in general molecular biology, including PCR, cloning,
sequencing, making gene constructs; biochemistry, including
characterization of proteins and analyses of enzymatic activities;
and/or plant transformation including plant tissue culture and
maintenance of transgenic plants. Candidates should also be able to
work independently and have good oral and written communication
skills. NON-US CITIZEN MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS POSITION, provided...

Plant Molecular Biologist

The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South
