For Haploidy there is no coordinator needed, for Molecular Markers there is no overall coordinator needed, and for RFLP Markers and Probes there is no coordinator identified. A working group, which will coordinate activities of the different research groups handling RFLP markers, was identified at the workshop on RFLPs during the Sixth International Barley Genetics Symposium.
