Editorial remarks
Even number of WIS is regularly edited in the season of wheat flowering in
the northern hemisphere, and planting in the southern. No. 92 contains articles
of ideal balance. The editorial office has been receiving a constant number of
manuscript for Research Article last year, and the proportion of acceptance after
reviewing is about 60%. Rejection is mostly due to just agronomic performance
for regional interest without analysis. Also, we would like to receive more articles
for Research Information, which could be tentative data, experimental plan or
even idea and proposal for research. Useful information of molecular markers or
mapping information. should be in this item.
Together with this volume, you may find a receipt of money contribution, or a
form of money order sheet. Thanks for the formers, and please remind a spirit
of mutual help for the latters.
We have received sad news of three wheat scientists recently., Dr. Masatake Tanaka
(Kyoto University), Dr. Mutuo Sasaki (Tottori University), and Dr. A J. Worland
(John Innes Centre). Dr. M. Tanaka had worked on genome analysis of wheat and
Aegilops under the late Dr. H. Kihara, and contributed for conservation
of Aegilops germplasms, all of which are conserved in Germplasm Institute
of Kyoto Univ. He was in charge of the chief editor of Wheat Information Service
during 1986-1993. Dr. M. Sasaki had studied on Triticale and always helpful for
WIS. Dr. A. J. Worland had worked on genetics of physiological characters in wheats.
Their contributions will be succeeded and utilized in the wheat researches of
the 21st century.
