INFORMATION ABOUT THE BARLEY NEWSLETTERINFORMATION ABOUT THE BARLEY NEWSLETTER
1. Comments on the 2005 Barley Newsletter
The Editorial Committee thanks all who submitted articles for the 2006 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 49 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 2007 (Volume 50) Barley Newsletter
