What a wonderful order of priorities. >From David Alan Walker, FRS; Emeritus Professor of Photosynthesis, University of Sheffield, UK. http://www.oxygraphics.co.uk/ 1/7/08 18:04, "plant-ed-request@oat.bio.indiana.edu" wrote: > Send Plant-ed mailing list submissions to > plant-ed@net.bio.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.bio.net/biomail/listinfo/plant-ed > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > plant-ed-request@net.bio.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > plant-ed-owner@net.bio.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Plant-ed digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
