From: "Daniel Devor" To: "Discussion of aroids" .... ..and YES, these antibiotics if used in too high a concentration cause total albinism in both Arisaema and Amorphophallus seedlings....unpublished observations from my own back-yard lab :o) ? ....

From: "Daniel Devor" To: "Discussion of aroids" Hi Bernhard, I can tell you that many aminoglycosides can cause read-through of stop codons. ?The ones that I was most familiar with back then were neomycin and gentamicin....both insanely common in any science lab in the world. ?These were not the ones I used I am pretty sure, but honestly, this was atleast 5 years ago so do not remember what aminoglycoside I used. ?I'm sure a 5 minute search of the scientific literature would turn ?it up. ?As I recall, I came across this when reading more about the molecular biology of premature stop codon read-through for CF therapy and thought, hey that could be fun to fiddle with at home. Perhaps we could all sit at home and make designer aroids for ourselves, but I would worry that this schlock would end up on ebay along with some of the rest of the garbage that can be found there. Happy mutating everyone, Dan Dan Devor Gibsonia, PA
