I am in the process of taking over from R. A. Nilan as coordinator for barley inversions. All information and material can be sent to me at the address given above.

A paracentric inversion in the short arm of chromosome 7 in a wild barley line has been described by Konishi and Linde-Laursen (1988). The inversion leads to two tandemly arranged nucleolar constrictions. The line, Spont.S-4, also carries a translocation between the long arm of chromosome 7 and the short arm of chromosome 3.
