"Here 's why GELase may replaceNal/glass bead kits for purifying DNA

from LMP-agarose gels."7 reasons that you can easily check for yourself.. .

1. Recovery of DNA is about 100% using GELase.Nal/glass bead kits give about 50% recovery for 2-15 KbDNA (see figure) and much less outside of that size range.

2. High molecular weight DNA, even megabaseDNA, is not damaged using GELase.DNA larger than 15 Kb is sheared using Nal/glass beadkits.

3. GELase is easy to use.Just melt the gel slice with GELase Buffer, add GELaseand incubate at 4500 to digest. To concentrate the DNA,add ethanol. The gel digestion products are soluble andwon't precipitate with the DNA.

4. GELase is inexpensive.One unit of GELase digests 600 mg of a 1% LMP-agarose gel in 1 hour in GELase Buffer. With a 10-hourincubation instead of 1 hour, the 200-unit size of GELaseis enough to digest more than a KILOGRAM of a 1% gel.

5. DNA purified using GELase is ready to use andbiologically active.Some companies recommend two rounds of purificationwith a Nal/glass bead kit to obtain DNA for cloning. That'snot necessary with GELase. DNA recovered using GELaseis ready for use in restriction mapping, cloning, labeling,sequencing or other molecular biological experiments.

6. GELase is active in electrophoresis buffers.It digests gels in TAE, TBE, MOPS and phosphate buffers.Special Nal/glass bead kits are needed for gels in TBEbuffer.

7. Protocols for using GELase are the same forRNA as for DNA.GELase is RNase-free and active in MOPS or phosphatebuffers that are used for RNA gels. In contrast, a specialversion of Nal/glass bead kit is needed for purification ofRNA.

Recoveries of 1.2 to 8.8 Kb DNA fragments excised from a 1% LMP-agarose gel (Figure A) were consistently much greater using GELase(Figure B, odd numbered lanes) than using a commercial kt containingsodium iodide and silica matrix (Figure B, even numbered lanes).

What is GELase?GELase is a novel enzyme preparation that digests thecarbohydrate backbone of agarose into small soluble oligo-saccharides, yielding a clear liquid that will not becomeviscous or gel even on cooling in an ice bath. It permits simpleand quantitative recovery of intact DNA or RNA from lowmelting point (LMP) agarose gels. GELase contains nocontaminating DNase, RNase or phosphatase.

Agriculture and Climate ChangeHow will increases in levelsof CO2 and changes in temperature affect food production? Arecently issued report analyzes prospects for U.S. agriculture 1990 to 2030.* The report,prepared by a distinguished Task Force, first projects the evolution of agriculture assumingincreased levelsof CO2 but no climate change. Then it deals with effects of climate change,followed by a discussion of how greenhouse emissions might be diminished by agriculture.Economic and policy matters are also covered.

Most forecasts of the future miss reality by a large margin because of the unforeseen.However, trends of increases in agricultural productivity have been robust. If climate does notchange drastically, U.S. agriculture is likely to continue to expand production per hectare byabout 1.5% per year. The report points out that from 1930 to 1987, while population nearlydoubled, the land area required for crops in the United States shrank by one-seventh. Wereclimate to remain steady, the crop land area needed to meet domestic demand and projectedincreased exports would decrease from 134 million hectares in 1987 to about 88 millionhectares in 2030. Those estimates did not factor in beneficial effects of increased CO2 inenhancing yields and lessening need for water by plants. The increased efficiency in produc-tion would be based largely on genetic improvements. Traditional plant breeding continuesto produce better varieties. In addition, the potentials of biotechnology are only beginning tobe exploited.

How the climate would respond to more greenhouse gases is uncertain. If temperatureswere higher, there would be more evaporation and more precipitation. Where would the rainfall? That is a good question. Weather in a particular locality is not determined by globalaverages. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s could be repeated at its former site or located in anotherregion such as the present Corn Belt. But depending on the realities at a given place, farmershave demonstrated great flexibility in choosing what they may grow. Their flexibility has beenincreased by the numerous varieties of seeds of major crops that are now available, each havingdifferent characteristics such as drought resistance and temperature tolerance. For example, infuture, varieties of winter wheat are likely to have an even larger role than now. Seeds areplanted in the autumn, and the crop is harvested ahead of the drought and heat of midsummer.The area suitable for this crop has already been doubled as a result of success of plant breeders.

In past, agriculture has contributed about 5% of U.S. greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, andN20). Two large components have involved emissionsof CO2 from farm machinery and fromoxidation of organic matter in soil due to tillage. Use of diesel fuel and more efficientmachinery has reduced emissions from that source by 40%. In some areas changed tillagepractices (no till) are now responsible for returning carbon to the soil.

The report identifies an important potential for diminishing net U.S. emissions of CO2by growth and utilization of biomass. Large areas are already available that could be devotedto energy crops. Estimates of potential impact included one from the Office of TechnologyAssessment. It hypothesized that 30 million hectares might be employed, ultimately resultingin production of 6 to 8% of current U.S. energy consumption. Another estimate suggested thatthe United States could offset half of its current emissions of CO2 related to fossil fuels byplanting 140 million hectares with trees. Other projections (not cited) indicate a potentialthat all U.S. liquid fuels eventually could be obtained from biomass. To achieve such a goalwould require selection and development of fast-growing, high-yielding trees or herbaceousplants, plus improved methods of processing their cellulose to ethyl alcohol. A substantialpotential for diesel fuel lies in the seeds of some plants such as sunflower and rape. In additionto providing local benefits technology developed in the United Staters would likely findapplications in other countries, resulting in diminished global emissions of CO2.

To achieve long-term goals of using biomass energy and maintaining reliable foodproduction under changing conditions will require a vital agricultural research and productionsystem. But the goals can be reached. As the report states, "Unlike the earth's endowment ofland and water, which are fixed and growing relatively smaller compared to demands on them,the capacity for acquiring knowledge has no known limit."

Tree Ring Research

Regarding a photograph by one of us

(B.M.B.) that appeared with the article"There's a new offering on campus: Globalchange 101" by Ann Gibbons (ResearchNews, 22 May, p. 1146), I would like to

clarify a few points. First, the photographshows Mike Peterson of the Tasmania For-estry Commission and Mike Barbetti of theUniversity of Sydney working near the sum-

mit of Mount Read, in a group of trees

killed by fire in 1961. Neither Peterson nor

Barbetti is a Lamont-Doherty researcher, as

stated in the caption; both were assisting onan ongoing project directed by Ed Cook, a

research scientist at Lamont-Doherty. Wecut and sectioned this standing, dead treefor our study; but the rest of our sampleswere taken with the use of increment cor-

ers, which remove only a 4-millimeter dow-el of wood from the tree and cause no

discernible harm to living trees. We do notusually cut trees, and when we do only deadtrees are cut. Additional samples taken atthis site included buried and partially bur-ied, nonliving stems and eroded stumpsfrom within the fire-killed site only, andnot from the adjacent, living site. We makeevery effort to have minimal impact in theareas in which we work, while at the same

time getting the best samples for our re-

search interests.Brendan M. Buckley

Evolution of HIV in Africa

Steve Sternberg's Research News article of15 May (p. 966) describes a phylogeneticanalysis which concludes that West CentralAfrica may contain a lineage of HIV-1(human immunodeficiency virus-1) that isancestral to the other HIV-1 isolates ana-

lyzed to date. This conclusion has beencriticized on the basis of the relatively lowprevalence of HIV-1 in that region of Af-rica, but this low prevalence is entirelyconsistent with the patterns expected fromcurrent evolutionary considerations of HIVvirulence (1) . These evolutionary consider-ations suggest that the pandemic HIVevolved to a high level of virulence in


mid-Central and East Africa in response to

an increase in multiple-partner sexual con-

tact brought about by the socioeconomiccrisis that occurred there during the 1970s.The lower rates of sexual contact along thewest coast of Africa should have favored theevolution of lower virulence. Accordingly,current evidence indicates that the HIV-2in West Africa has a lower virulence andlower prevalences than the pandemicHIV-1 (1-3). The limited comparisons to

date also suggest that these low prevalencesof HIV-2 are remaining fairly stable in areas

of West Africa where HIV-2 predominates(4). According to this evolutionary argu-

ment, the same should be true of HIV- 1strains that have evolved endemically inareas with relatively low rates of multiple-partner sexual contact. That is, we can

expect such strains of HIV- 1 in western

regions to have a lower, more stable prev-

alence than the HIV- 1 strains in mid-Central and East Africa.

This evolutionary argument can be test-ed by assessing the virulence of the rootWest African HIV-1 lineages in humans byquantifying, for example, the time betweenthe onset of infection and the onset ofAIDS. The evolutionary theory predictsthat the virulence and replication rates ofthese lineages should be lower than those ofthe lineages in mid-Central and East Afri-ca. Seropositivity should also increase more

gradually with age, more like the age struc-ture of HIV-2 infections than pandemicHIV-1 infections (2, 3).

Much additional work remains to bedone before the understanding of the mo-

Chemical Weapons Disposal

The article "Piecemeal rescue for Sovietscience" by David P. Hamilton (News &Comment, 27 Mar., p. 1632) mentions a

suggestion by scientists from a former So-viet weapons lab to use nuclear explosivesto destroy chemical weapon stockpiles.The article states that the suggestion metwith a "very mixed response" from theAmericans.

One could note that the U.S. govern-ment has also considered this method.The Defense Nuclear Agency completeda study in 1982 (1) which suggested thatthere were a number of advantages tobe gained by using a nuclear blast todestroy chemical weapons in an under-ground cavity. For example, the weapons

would require no preparation or disassem-bly, and there would be no residue requir-ing disposal. This idea, along with othernovel concepts for the disposal of thechemical stockpile, was rejected by theArmy in favor of reverse assembly-incin-eration.

How far will Science's editorial team go to get to the bottom of a news story?To the ends of the Earth ... as Senior Writer Joseph Palca did when he accom-

panied a National Science Foundation team to the South Pole last Novem-ber. Palca was after hot science, and the weather played its part when temperatures

hit a balmy 40° below. This allowed the NSF team to brief Palca-and, by extension,Science's readers-on astronomers' latest plans for astrophysical observations, cli-matologists' most recent probings of the polar cap to get at the Earth's historical talentfor blowing hot and cold, and ozone hole aficionados' newest numbers.

Just what you expect from Science; the journal that finds news that's hot even whenit's 40° below.

"Siona and Secoya hunters [in northeastern Ecuador] sharpening spears. Bamboo-tipped spearsare a traditional weapon for hunting terrestrial game such as peccaries and tapirs. Since the 1 950s,the shotgun has replaced both the spear and blowgun in most hunting. Most of these shotguns aresingle shot 16 gauge. Factory manufactured shells are expensive, so all hunters reload the plasticshell casings with primers, shot, and gunpowder purchased from river traders." [From W. T.Vickers's paper in Neotropical Wildlife Use and Conservation]

Neotropical wildlife be preserved and usedsustainably? Yes, but only if governmentsand scientists work together to producesolid data and new theories ofmanagement.We know that by protecting economicallyimportant game and non-game species, weensure concomitant management of manyassociated species of vertebrates, inverte-brates, and plants. Major attention must begiven to habitat protection. Law enforce-ment efforts based on reasonable (ratherthan draconian) wildlife laws need to beinstituted throughout Latin America. Edu-cational materials are needed for schoolchildren and the general public that illus-trate the total value of wildlife and the needfor wildlife protection.

There may be more species of wildlife topreserve in the Neotropics than in NorthAmerica and they may be harder to study,but there is no reason to think that the taskis beyond our abilities. This volume is avery positive first step in describing itsmagnitude and complexity.

outlook for wildlife in the United Stateswas not much better than what is currentlybeing predicted for Latin America. Forexample, in 1913, the imminent extinctionof the pronghorn "antelope," the bighornsheep, and the elk was predicted, yet todaythese species are harvested through sporthunting. Can the wildlife managementstrategy that has made this possible beadapted to Latin America? Shaw reviewsthe enormous cultural, political, economic,demographic, and ecological differences be-tween the Americas that make wildlifemanagement in Latin America especiallychallenging. Existing philosophies, tech-niques, and theories may not be readilytransplantable to Latin America withoutmodification for tropical systems, develop-ing economies, different sociopolitical pro-files, and different social views of nature.

Several papers discuss theoretical modelsfor determining potential harvest levels.Unfortunately, as with many models, as-

sumptions are unverified or will be found tobe species-specific and thus have limitedapplicability. The most detailed data are

those of Franklin and Fritz for guanacos.Franklin and Fritz conclude, on the basis oftwo decades of research, that sustainableharvest is feasible. The time it took to reach

this conclusion underscores the need forintensive research on other wildlife species.On a more hopeful note, several species ofeconomic importance (caiman, white-winged doves, whistling ducks, capybaras,pacas, iguanas) are amenable to ranching or

farming. Unfortunately, these are only a

small proportion of the wildlife species uti-lized, both legally and illegally, from Mex-ico to Argentina.

Wildlife biology in North America islooked down upon by many ecologists andother biologists, and this is largely thefault of the wildlife biologists themselves,who, with their strongly regional orienta-tion and the close linkage of their work tolocal game departments, have been longon politics and mundane census studiesand short on global theories of manage-ment strategy and policy. Undoubtedly,the bright future for wildlife in NorthAmerica is due to their efforts, but now itis time for them to turn their attention tothe question of wildlife management else-where in the Americas, where the greatest.wildlife diversity resides.

The future of Latin American game andnon-game wildlife lies in an internationalmelding of ecology, wildlife biology, con-

servation, economics, and politics. Can
