A meeting was held to discuss coordination of gene symbols for rice isozyme loci at IRRI, on May 15, 1990, during the Second International Rice Genetics Symposium. The members present were; D. S. Brar, A. Ghesquiere, J. C. Glaszmann, R. Ishikawa, H. Morishima, T. Nagamine, J. L. Pham, B. G. de los Reyes, G. Second. Their discussions led to the following agreements.

1. Forty-nine isozyme loci (including 6 tentative ones) are now known in rice. Of these 31 have been associated with respective chromosomes.

2. Rules for allele designation suggested by Glaszmann et al. (1988) were accepted. Namely, major alleles frequently found in 0. sativa are given small numbers (slow band, allele 1 and fast band, allele 2, etc). Rare alleles are numbered according to the order of discovery.

3. Isozyme alleles found only in wild species are not included in the list attached. It is suggested that such alleles are designated by letters of alphabet.

4. It is recommended the researchers to exchange marker lines for allelism tests. This will promote the use of common allele designations.

A unified system of locus/allele designations agreed by the above members is given below together with other information.
