In this volume of the Barley Genetics Newsletter seventeen new Barley Genetic Stock descriptions (the group of the anthocyanin genes) are published (Table 1). The current list of new and revised BGS descriptions, including those in Table 1, are again presented by BGS number order (Table 2) and by locus symbol in alphabetic order (Table 3) in this issue. Information on the description location, recommended locus name, chromosomal location, previous gene symbols, and the primary genetic stock (GSHO number) are included in these lists. The GSHO stocks are held in the USDA-ARS Barley Genetic Stocks Collection at the National Small Grains Germplasm Research Facility, Aberdeen, Idaho 83210, USA. This information is available through the Internet at the following addresses:

  1. www.ars.usda.gov.PacWest/Aberdeen
  2. www.ars-grin.gov:7000/npgs/descriptors/barley-genetics (GRIN)

Volume 26 of the Barley Genetics Newsletter and additional revised descriptions in BGN 28 are available at: http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/otherdocs/bgn/bgn

* Recommended locus symbols are based on utilization of a three letter code for barley genes as approved at the business meeting of the Seventh International Barley Genetics Symposium at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, on August 5, 1996.

Chromosome numbers and arm designations are based on a resolution passed at the business meeting of the Seventh International Barley Genetics Symposium at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, on August 5, 1996. The Burnham and Hagberg (1956) designations of barley chromosomes were 1 2 3 4 5 6 and 7 while new designations based on the Triticeae system are 7H 2H 3H 4H 1H 6H and 5H, respectively.

The seed stock associated with each BGS number is held as a GSHO stock number in the Barley Genetics Stock Collection at the USDA-ARS National Small Grains Germplasm Research Facility, Aberdeen, Idaho, USA.
