INFORMATION ABOUT THE BARLEY NEWSLETTER
1. Comments on the 2001 Barley Newsletter
The Editorial Committee thanks all who submitted articles for the 2001 Barley
Newsletter and those who took the time to request that their names be maintained
on the mailing list. The articles were in good condition, and appear as they
were submitted. Because all submissions were either on disk or sent via email,
and since Volume 45 will be available on-line via GrainGenes, fonts, spacings
etc. were left as each individual author provided them.
2. Publication
The Barley Newsletter is published electronically at http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/ggpages/BarleyNewsletter.
3. The 2002 (Volume 46) Barley Newsletter
The Barley Newsletter Editor is Dolores W. Mornhinweg, elected by the Barley
Workers at the triennial North American Barley Researchers Workshop. Articles
for 2002 Barley Newsletter, Volume 46, should be received by the editor by
April 30, 2003. The editor encourages you to submit your contribution several
weeks earlier than the deadline if you can do so. The Newsletter primarily
is intended for informal communication among barley researchers. Information
on any phase of barley research is welcomed, but contributions must conform
to the following guidelines:
4. Instructions to Authors

single spaced. Manuscripts must be submitted on disk or via email, see section

a future volume.
