C. Report of the Committee on Genetic Stocks

N. IWATA, Convener

In Rice Genetic Stock Center at Kyushu University, we have received no seed sample nor information during last one year. We have announced in the last issue (RGN 8) to compile and present the list of available marker gene stocks and institutions maintaining them as a future activity of our Committee. But this has not been done yet. We request again kind cooperation of all RGC mem- bers concerned.

We also request all RGC members to contribute a share of seeds of new genetic stocks, particularly of those reported in RGN, to the Rice Genetic Stock Center in Iwata's laboratory at Kyushu University (Faculty of Agric., Hakozaki, Fukuoka, 812 Japan) or to Dr. G. S. Khush of the IRRI (P.O. Box 933, 1099 Manila, Philippines). If received, the information will be presented in this report.
