I received nine vials of seed beetles (100-1000s in each vial) from Frank to store for possible sequencing. These include two smaller samples from F2 pea lines (P1 and P2), two samples from the long-standing lentil lines (L1 and L2; these are F91 and F72 respectively), two mung bean (ancestral host) lines (S1(M) and S1M(2), these are the same thing, and are from the generation that founded the pea lines), and three reversion lines at generation F35 (L1R, L2R, and L3R). Frank is going to start new lentil lines soon and save beetles from every generation. I will pick-up beetle samples for storage from all of these liens about once a month.
