We are presently organizing a database to serve small research-oriented culture collections. These collections are distinguished from the large service collections whose primary role is to maintain and supply cultures to other researchers. The collections are of germplasm relating to plant or horticultural research and include: Bacteria Fastidious procaryotes Fungi Nematodes Protozoa Algae Subcellular elements Plasmids Cloning Vectors Cloned genes, libraries Plant viruses Myco-viruses Phage Cloned MCA's Antisera Viroids Satellite nucleic acids Other nucleic acids The database will be distributive in that only a minimum data set for each organism in each collection will reside in the central database. More detailed information will be accessed only through the individual researcher. If you are interested in being included on the mailing list for the newsletter please send your address: surface mail to F. Joe Hanus Senior Research Assistant Dept. of Botany and Plant Pathology Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331 e-mail to hanusj@bionette.ucs.orst.edu Thanks Joe Hanus
