C. LIST OF GENES AND GENETIC STOCKS


This list was compiled on the basis of survey made by several rice geneticists in Japan and information obtained from the International Rice Research Institute, Los Banos and National Chung Hsing University, Taichung. Therefore, the list is incomplete, and we hope more complete lists will be presented in the 2nd and later issues of RGN. The institutions maintaining the listed stocks are shown by codes which are explained below.

The genetic stocks listed are classified into four major categories: marker genes for 14 different character groups, primary trisomics, reciprocal translocation lines, and isogenic lines. Strains of wild species and many of induced mutants are not included in the present list, although a small list of induced mutants from Oryza glaberrima is added to the list of isogenic lines.
