Editors' Note

The Rice Genetics Newsletter is a publication of the Rice Genetics Cooperative and a channel of communication among rice geneticists. The success of the Cooperative depends upon the cooperation of the members. We request your cooperation particularly in the following matters.

1. Please send us research notes on your new finding in rice genetics for RGN 7, before the end of July 1990. Please foltow the style used in RGN.

2. Please send us a list of your publications on rice genetics, which are not listed in the previous issues of RGN.

3. Please check your address in the mailing list in RGN 2 and the supplements in RGN 3, 4, 5 and 6. If your address is incorrect or you have moved to another location, please write to us giving your correct address.

4. Your comments and suggestion for the improvement of future issues of RGN are most welcome.

Printing costs of RGN 6 were met by the National Institute of Genetics, Japan, for which we are most grateful.

Short articles reporting new findings in rice genetics are invited as research notes. Each note should be in the form of an abstract, typewritten double-spaced throughout on one side of A4 paper. In principle, a note should be within two printed page, or about three typewritten pages. References should be given when citation is made in the text. Particular strains used as experimental material should be briefly described. In addition, a few tables and figures will be accepted when considered necessary. Tables should be concise with values given in as few digits as possible. Recent papers on rice genetics published by the members in languages other than English may be briefly rewritten as research notes. In writing the manuscript, please carefully follow the style we use, by referring to previous issues of RGN. Manuscripts may be sent to the editor at any time of the year.
