[Michael Dossett <phainopepla@yahoo.com>]

Hello everyone,
 
A few years ago I sent a request to the list asking for people to send me 
wild black raspberry fruit from across North America for work I was doing as 
part of my PhD project.  List members were tremndously helpful in that 
project and it was wildly successful.  We were able to identify multiple 
sources of insect and disease resistance from the wild material that was 
assembled, selections from these wild seed lots are being crossed and new 
selections with superior resistance are being identified in the USDA breeding 
program in Corvallis, Oregon.   Leftover seed was also deposited in the 
National Clonal Germplasm Repository so that others with an interest in this 
genetic material can access it.
 
Well, I'm at it again.  I'm currently working on a collaborative project 
between the USDA in Corvallis, and Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada to 
identify new sources of useful traits (particularly resistance to 
phytophthora root rot) in wild red raspberry from across North America.  It 
is an exciting project that includes modeling using GIS tools and other 
information to help predict where populations that are likely to carry 
resistance may be found in the future as well as using genetic markers to 
identify whether the same genes are involved in conferring resistance from 
populations across North America or whether certain resistance genes are 
locally or regionally distinct.  If you would like to know more about this 
project or would like to help by sending us wild red raspberry fruit or seed, 
please send me an email and I will get back to you.  The project is starting 
this fall and we will be collecting seed over the next few seasons so if you 
think
 you might like to help let me know and I will send you more information as 
well as a reminder as the season approaches next year.
 
Thank you all for your help,
 
Michael Dossett

To the list,

Here is the notification I got on July 9.

It says the new Pomona is online and they would love to have me back.
I wasn't aware that I had gone anywhere!

I tried the URL for NAFEX and got a message that  the new website was
up and activated and all members had been added and activated and I
would have a new username and password. But when I clicked on Pomona,
archives, etc. I just got a space to log in with a username and password.

And, by the way, no one has said how much it would be to get a
printed copy of Pomona.
