V. Editorial remarks

Last September, from the replies submitted to a questionnaire, we realized that in addition to those preserved in Plant Germplasm, Institute, Kyoto University, not less than 1,000 lines and accessions of various kinds of genetic stocks and DNA clones in wheat and related genera have been preserved in universities and institutes in Japan. The fact encouraged us to organize the 24th Wheat Genetics Symposium Japan, "Genetic stock conservation and its network construction", held on March 29, 1994, in Kyoto. The report of the symposium was made in this issue.

For articles for information, including meeting notice, book advertisement, or announcement, you can use facsimile to send the manuscripts through the number, 45-743-2833 (Country code of Japan is 81).

The next issue (No. 79) will be published in December, 1994. Your further contributions will be very appreciated.

The mailing list for subscription is, now, being renewed. Please see the attached sheet in No. 77.


Letter to Editor

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Oeiras, May 9 1994

Dear Editor.

It is with great pleasure that I add a few lines to my "Renewal of Registration".
I would like to congratulate you for the 40th anniversary of WIS and for the article on Prof.

Kihara, on the occasion of his centennial, in the November 1993 issue.

I remember well, among other pleasant memories of Prof. Kihara, a lunch I had with him and Dr. Flora Lilienfeld, a few days after the excellent International Genetics Symposium, in 1956. And I treasure the autographed copy on his 1924 work on "Cytologische und genetische Studien ..." he offered me on that occasion.

I believe WIS is such a good and well known name that no change is necessary for its prestige. However, "Wheat Science" or "Journal of Wheat Research" are also very good names.

I certainly agree that any papers on molecular analysis concerning wheat and its relatives should be included, as all the other subjects.

Once more, my congratulations and the best wishes of continuation of success.

Yours sincerely

Prof. Miguel Mota

Department of Genetics,Estacao Agronomica Nacional

P-2780 Oeiras, Portugal
