These are all found in a fairly steep, densely wooded ravine with a
swift-flowing year round stream at the bottom, Warning: the full size
versions of these pictures are quite large. I did that intentionally in
order to show detail.
I take a lot of plant pictures and field guides are of limited use in IDing
them. You can fit only so much of the vast array of plant life into a book.
Does anyone know of a site where pics can be posted for this purpose or
should I just keep using this newsgroup?
Thanks

Mendel Biotechnology, Inc. is looking for an individual to
lead an important project to collect, organize and analyze
data with the goal of improving traits in Miscanthus and
other plants for use as biofeedstocks. You will work with
biologists, agronomists, business people, and computer
scientists in an interdisciplinary environment. This is a
well-funded, full-time position in our Hayward, California
offices.

Knowledge in these areas is helpful:
o Genomics and gene databases;
o Standard bioinformatics tools;
o Plant traits and QTLs;
o Plant breeding and pedigree databases;
o SNPs;
o Illumina Beadstation;
o Oracle, Linux, Perl, Apache interactions;

Hi,
I read your problem,
In my opinion, there is the problem of light to the plant,
As far as I Know, *Ficus benjamina* is not an indoor plant, so leave the
plant in the sunlight for some days and do not let the soil dry. If it does
not work, you have to take the help of a plant pathologist.

Regards,
Sajan

Dear colleagues,
Does any one know of a commercial source for arginine-sepharose?
Alternatively, we do know the material is rather expensive, yet, is
there any one out there who can provide us with a sample of it?
Many thanks, Yair M. Heimer.

When people pass by your house or they come to visit, the first thing
you notice is your yard. Landscaping truly does make the yard and it's
what makes people stop and take notice.

Hi Everybody

Has anyone responded to Bruno's message about the ficus benjamina with

a large leaf drop? I have four fourteen foot trees that have developed

the same problem. Help would be most appreciated.

Attached is a picture of the malady.

Dear everybody,

I am looking for an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 for rice
transformation. Unfortunately our lab does not possess this strain. I
already tried to get in contact via email with researchers who used this
strain in their published experiments, but I did not have any answer yet.
My hope is that one of you may be willing to share an aliquot of this
strain with me or knows about its commercial availability.

I would be very greatful to get an answer of you.

Best wishes,

Benedikt (Drosse)
