V. 2. Linkage maps of barley.

Every year I am surprised about your presentation of the linkage maps of barley. I wonder why you do not utilize the new information summarized by the coordinators in the linkage maps of barley 1983 presented on pp 102 in the BGN Vol. 13. In BGN Vol. 13, R. Takahashi and Jens Jensen present up to date maps for chromosomes 3 and 5, but in your map about 6 pages later the new information from the coordinators is not taken into consideration. Even more surprising is it that the linkage maps published 12 years ago BGN Vol. 1, pp 90, contained several more genes than the recent maps. I would like to suggest that you whenever possible use the maps of the coordinator's linkage maps in the future issues in the summarising presentation published in BGN.
