A brief report on the field research project in Egupt, Tunisia,
Sardinia, Corsica and Southern Italy by GSEM96
Egypt, Tunisia, Sardinia, Corsica and Southern Italy were
surveyed from April 1 to June 4. This was the second year research
work of the GSEM supported by the Ministry of Education, Science,
Sports and Culture, Japan (Grant-in-Aid for International Scientific
Research Program: Field Research No. 07041133). The research was
carried out as a cooperative research work with Drs. R. Sayed (Assiut
Univ., Egypt), M. Harrabi (Inst. National d'Agronomie de Tunis). A
total of about 1,010 samples of wheat, barley, oat and the weed in
their filed were collected. More detailed report is now in
preparation.

Survey of genetic resources of the genus Avena in the Canary
Islands and Morocco by GSEM95
All the biological species of Avena coexist in the area
roughly between Southern Spain, Morocco and the Canary Islands. The
genetic resources of the genus Avena were surveyed in the
Canary Island (La Gomera, Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote) and
Morocco from May 14th to Luly 1st 1995 by the Gifu University
Scientifc Exploration in the Mediterranean Region (GSEM95). A total
of 61 accessions including 7 species (Avena canariensis, A.
hirtula, A. strigosa, A. barbata, A. sterilis, A. fatua and A.
atherantha were collected from the Canary Islands. In Morocco, a
total of 193 accessions including 14 species (A. eriantha, A.
agadiriana, A. atlantica, A. barbata, A. damascena, A. hirtula, A.
longiglumis, A. prostrata, A. maroccana, A. murphyi, A. fatua, A.
sativa, A. byzantiana and A. strilis) were collected.

research in the central Tibet, China
Field research on wheat and its wild relatives was carried out in
August, 1995, as one of the of Education, Science, Sports and
Culture, Japan (Grant-in-Aid for International Scientific Research
Program: Field Research No. 07041154). In Tibet two major crops,
wheat as a cash plant and barley for self consumption, are
cultivated. Because of its economical importance, wheat landraces
(spring type) had been mostly replaced by modern varieties (winter
type). Wheat samples were collected from both wheat and barley
flelds, and totaled 320 samples. Those from spring wheat or barley
fields proved to be of spring growth habit, while those from winter
wheat fields were mostly of winter growth habit. Among them, one
accession could not be classified as T.
aestivum, and was considered as hybrid origin between emmer wheat
and common wheat.
