Yucca Stalks and Flutes
|
| |
Hello All -
I am part of a group of folks who work in the world of ethnic flutes, and in particular the origins of these instruments. We're
trying to track down a potential link with yucca stalks.
We have examples of beautifully carved holes in yucca stalks, apparently created by some non-human agent. We're trying to track down... more »

Save St Andrews Botanic Garden......
St Andrews Botanic Garden is under threat of closure due to insufficient funding. It was established by St Andrews University in the early 1960s and for the past 25 years has been leased to the local Council who have funded its maintenance and development as an educational and community facility. The lease runs out later this year and the Council is no longer willing to cover all of the running costs.... more »

Postdoc Position University of Florida, TALEN mediated mutagenesis of sugarcane
Postdoctoral researcher position in TALEN mediated targeted mutagenesis of sugarcane is available at the University of Florida. The position will be part of our expanding plant metabolic engineering and bioenergy research focus, which is co-funded by USDA, USDOE and industry. The postdoc researcher will participate in the development of TALEN mediated mutagenesis and advanced genetic transformation technology for sugarcane. The research objectives include the development of a protocol for TALEN mediated mutagenesis of sugarcane and its application for sugarcane improvement and transgene stacking. The research will involve vector construction, tissue culture, genetic transformation, enzyme and reporter gene assays, qRT-PCR, sequencing of the targeted integration site, Southern blot analysis, biochemical analysis. For this position the incoming postdoc will have extensive experience in vector construction, molecular characterization of transgenic plants, tissue culture and genetic transformation of plants using agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer, experience with homologous or site specific recombination will be a plus. The incoming postdoc will have an excellent command of oral and written English and scientific management skills. He or she will be able to prepare various reports, publications and grant proposals. We particularly encourage recent graduates with the relevant research experience to apply. Besides this postdoc position, we also welcome graduate students with external support to join us for our expanding bioenergy research.... more »
