	CPD: South America, Site SA33, Peruvian Puna, Peru
		Topographic relief of the Peruvian puna is moderate compared to the steep escarpments on the eastern and western slopes of the Andes.
		Puna grasslands found in the proximity of these woodlands may be invaded by woody species, if they are not regularly grazed or burned.
		In addition, the puna is a genetic storehouse due to the presence of wild relatives of present-day and potential subsistence and commercial crops (Altieri, Anderson and Merrick 1987).

	AgBioForum 7(1&2): Transgenic Papaya in Hawaii and Beyond
		Puna had many advantages for raising papaya: (a) the area had an abundance of rather inexpensive land to lease; (b) the area has plentiful rainfall and sunshine; (b) the excellent 'Kapoho' papaya cultivar was uniquely adapted to the region; and (d) PRSV was not present in the region.
		However, this technology was not used on Hawaii island because of the lack of virus in Puna and the observation that the mild strain caused significant symptoms on papaya, especially during the winter months.
		Since 1992, when the virus was discovered in Puna, the yearly amount of fresh papaya sold from Puna had gone from 53 millions pounds in 1992 to 26 million pounds in 1998.

	APSnet Feature: Transgenic Virus Resistant Papaya
		The field resistance of the transgenic papaya in Puna proved to be durable, a result that was not necessarily predictable given that greenhouse tests had shown Rainbow to be resistant to the several PRSV isolates from Hawaii but susceptible to a range of isolates from outside of Hawaii (9).
		However, by 1995 papaya production in Puna had dropped to 39 million pounds and was down to 26 million pounds in 1998 when transgenic seeds of cultivars were released to farmers.
		The likelihood of new virulent strains developing due to recombination of PRSV strains in Puna with the coat protein transgene of Rainbow is remote.

	Lali Puna: Tridecoder (h2so4)
		One of the many exciting acts to come out of Weilheim is Lali Puna: Valerie Trebeljahr (voice and keyboards), Markus Acher (of Notwist and Tied and Tickled Trio fame on bass and sampler), Christoph Brander (also in Console and Tied and Tickled) on drums and sampler, and Florian Zimmer on keyboards.
		Trebeljahr, who was born in Korea (Lali Puna apparently means "Lali from Pusan") and raised in Lisbon, sings in both English ("for comprehension") and Portuguese ("for non-comprehension").
		What makes Lali Puna so interesting, besides being so pleasant to listen to, is the way they synthesize such diverse influences—diverse both in sound and outlook—as techno, noisy indie rock, electronic experimentation, and plain sweet pop, in a perfectly balanced way.

		So naturally, Lali Puna's leader, singer-keyboardist Valerie Trebeljahr, was a little nervous when she and her band first toured the United States in 2002.
		Still, Lali Puna's songs are just as much about creating an atmosphere in which one's free to think, relax, and, yes, even dance.
		The songs on Lali Puna's first two albums, ''Tricoder" and ''Scary World Theory," were textbook examples of electro-acoustic dynamics (strummed guitars layered over organic synth), often with few or no lyrics.

		Even though PRSV was only 19 miles away from Puna, geographic isolation and diligent surveillance and rouging efforts had kept the virus from Puna and, consequently, 95% of Hawaii's papaya was being produced in Puna by the 1980s.

	Conceptual Puna Plan - December 2004

		The Conceptual Puna Plan was formally submitted to Hilarie Keehne (planner, Townscape, Inc.), Harry Kim (Hawaii County mayor), Bob Jacobsen (Hawaii County councilman with copies for distribution to other council members) on December 31, 2004 with the hope that some concepts will be considered for incorporation into the Hawaii County General Plan.

		Lali Puna's kind of like that, not that if you listen to it you'll have your own visions of loquacious fauna, but that no matter what is happening, it will have a transcendent and soothing quality.
		John Soda, and Lali Puna is musically similar to those groups.
		The band is able to maneuver easily between and organic soothing quality of some tracks and a detached coolness, accented by vocals that would seem to belong to some vixen clad in leather with slicked back hair.

		Now, or at least in recent years, it's the turn of Lali Puna, a band that is beginning to gain the recognition they deserve, although they remain the delight of select groups -and it's Thom Yorke's favorite German band, assuming such tidbit increases their appeal for you.
		Lali puna seeems to be taking equal cues from the worlds of trip-hop, downtempo electronic, IDM, and the My Bloody Valentine school of rock to create something altogether unique and emotionally powerful.
		Lali Puna's first two albums consist of electronica "songs" that should be appealing to anyone seeking beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics.

	Lali Puna: Faking the Books: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		John Soda is to melodies-- this is Weilheim's face of rock, its most outwardly energetic outfit and the closest this town gets to sweaty basement shows and fucking shit up wholesale.
		Which doesn't say much, as Lali Puna's idea of fucking shit up on their 2001 release Scary World Theory seemed to be, at worst, breaking into a building and rearranging the furniture.
		"Micronomic", the album's second single, follows in similar temperament, and while not my favorite track on the album, speaks to Lali Puna's ability to cradle their listener gently in melody for one second, and to punch him in the face with a dirty riff in the next.

	* Dusted Reviews - Lali Puna *
		A casual listen to Lali Puna's electronically embroidered new album instantly raises questions about the emotional commitment of its creators.
		But in forgoing the lifeblood of dynamic and passion, the creative minds behind the project fall to maximize its potential, however agreeable their compositions may be.
		As releases bearing similarities to Lali Puna's pop décor pile up around me, I wonder if the pallid swish-and-click of queenly bedroom recordings will ever match the bolder electro/acoustic hybrids Europe produced two decades ago.
