Overall coordinator’s report

Hard-copy edition pages 138 - 140.

Since the latest overall coordinator’s report in Barley Genetics Newsletter Volume 31, no important changes of the coordinators have been reported during 2001. I do hope that most of you are willing to continue with this work and provide us with new information and literature search. Unhappily some of the coordinators are going to retire from their positions or they do not find the time to do anything on their reports because of other commitments. The coordinator for Chromosome 1H (5), Jens Jensen, will retire from his position in Denmark at the end of 2002, and Gunter Backes at the Risø National Laboratory, Denmark is willing to replace him. But Jens Jensen is willing to help with updating the chromosome map, his e-mail addresses are listed in the “List of Barley Coordinators”.

The conversion of the Barley Genetic Stock Descriptions of about 650 different barley gene loci with including the images into the International Triticeae Genome Database “GrainGenes” according to the ACEDB format is still in progress and is planned to be fulfilled during 2002. This year 55 new and revised descriptions of different morphological and physiological traits have been compiled. Look into the section of “Descriptions of barley genetic stocks for 2001”. In connection with this section revised lists of BGS descriptions by BGS number (Table 2) and by locus symbol in alphabetic order (Table 3) are republished in this volume.
