Comments on the 2009 Barley Newsletter
The
Editorial Committee thanks all who submitted articles for the 2009 Barley Newsletter.
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 52 will
be available on-line via GrainGenes, fonts, spacings etc. were left as each individual
author provided them.
