FOREWORD
Barley Genetics Newsletter seems to be well accepted by barley workers throughout the world. The editors have heard that BGN has been useful in their work on barley genetics and breeding. There have been some suggestions and comments on improving the Newsletter. For example, some workers suggested that an index should be published. We are happy to see the index has been published in this volume by the effort of one of our editorial committee members, T.E. Haus, who puts things together and developed an index for Section II, Research Notes for the past five volumes of Barley Genetics Newsletter. Indices for Special Notices, Coordinator's Report, and other sections and that for the authors will be published in future issues.
One new system has been introduced in this volume based on the decision made by the Editorial Committee Meeting at Montana State University, Bozeman Montana, U.S.A., September 1975. It states: "If authors desire to grant advance permission to cite, they should indicate so on the submitted manuscript". A paper which has an "R" mark at the end of the title of the paper can be cited without permission of the author(s). "R" means that the author's permission is granted in advance.
In this volume the articles in Section II, Research Notes recorded its highest number, 54. This is an indication that Barley Genetics Newsletter has been well accepted as the place for communication in barley genetics. Another item to be reported here is that Plant Breeding Abstracts has started abstracting Barley Genetics Newsletter from cover to cover.
This accomplishment has been achieved only with the cooperation of barley researchers throughout the world by contributing articles on barley genetics. The editorial committee is grateful for the cooperation and appreciate further support for the development of Barley Genetics Newsletter.
As all barley research workers now know, we lost our friend and leader in barley genetics, G.A. (Gus) Wiebe in August 1975. This issue of Barley Genetics Newsletter is dedicated to Gus.
