FOREWORD
Volume 11 of Barley Genetics Newsletter starts the second decade of
its publication. The work of the editors has become fairly routine but
we still enjoy receiving a good number of manuscripts for publication.
We have decided not to send advance requests to contributors in the future to save time and expense. Announcement for the next volume will be made in the Special Notices Section in each volume. The time of publication will remain late spring and most of you know the deadline to meet.
Remember, all parts of the BGN are open for your contributions. We especially need you to submit lists of publications in the preceding year. It is appreciated if you survey all literature on barley genetics and prepare an extensive list including your own contributions. On occasion, one of the editors accumulates the names of articles from some selected journals, but that is not meant to be a complete listing of such publications. Your help is solicited in this matter.
Because we continue to receive requests for complete sets of BGN, we have reprinted certain volumes. We now have all volumes of BGN available for anyone who would like back issues.

FRONT COVER DIAGRAM - IDIOGRAM OF CHROMOSOMES
IN BARLEY
Giemsa C-banding technique for chromosome identification was successfully
applied to barley by Ib Linde-Laursen (1975, Hereditas 81:285-289). Based
on this technique all chromosomes in the barley complement, especially
the larger four non-satellited chromosomes were definitely identified for
the first time. The figure shown on the front cover is the same as that
of Fig. 3 in the above-cited paper. Prepared from the original (Courtesy
of Ib. Linde-Laursen).
