INFORMATION ABOUT THE BARLEY GENETICS NEWSLETTER

The need for an international barley genetics newsletter was discussed at the First International Barley Genetics Symposium in 1963 and a resolution establishing Barley Genetics Newsletter was adopted by the Second International Barley Genetics Symposium in 1969. The resolution is included in the Foreword of Volume 1 of the Barley Genetics Newsletter.

The Barley Genetics Newsletter is published electronically and on paper. For the electronic version see: http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/otherdocs/bgn/bgn.html .

The mailing list for the distribution of the paper version of the Barley Genetics Newsletter is prepared new each year, based on authors of articles that are submitted, and requests from individuals asking specifically that their names be placed on the list. If you want to receive the next volume, and are not submitting an article, return the enclosed form to the publishers (the American Malting Barley Association, Inc.) Please check your address and note any changes on the form. Where possible, please share your copy of the Barley Genetics Newsletter with others to reduce the number of copies which must be distributed.

The next regular volume of the Barley Genetics Newsletter will be published in the spring of 1997. It will be edited by:
