Wheat Information Service (WIS)
was founded in 1954 to exchange information about genetics and breeding of wheat among researchers in the world, and now published twice a year by Kihara Memorial Yokohama Foundation for the Advancement of Life Sciences. This journal includes Research Articles (original paper reviewed by the editorial board), Research Information, Proposals, Gene Catalogues, Invited Reviews, Records of Scientific Meeting and any other information useful for wheat geneticists and breeders. ?The editors welcome to receive any information on wheat researches, such as meetings, books, jobs, etc (e-mail: yamabosi@yokohama-cu.ac.jp).

Kihara Memorial Foundation supports the publishing expenses, and the donations from the readers partly support the editing and mailing expenses. The editors appreciate donations from readers (2,000 Japanese Yen per year; ca. US $20). Only the International Postal Money Order, credit cards (Visa or MasterCard) or cash are acceptable for donation. Because of expensive commission, we can not receive bank transfer and check. A special beautiful picture card will be issued for the donator.

For subscription, mail your name, address, and e-mail address (if available) to the Business Office of WIS. We hope your donation for editing and mailing expenses.

The gene symbols and scientific name of species should be either underlined or italicized. Nomenclature of genes and chromosomes should follow the rule in ?Catalogue of gene symbols for wheat? (McIntosh et al.: 9th Int. Wheat Genet. Symp., 1998). Limitation of the printing pages is five for ?Research Articles? and two for ?Research Information?. Standard numbers of words for one printing page are 810.
Original manuscript and its copy should be submitted to the Business Office of WIS in Kihara Memorial Foundation (See the back cover). Authors will have an opportunity to examine the first proof. After acceptance, submission of either diskette or attached file of e-mail of the final revision is required. Microsoft Word (Win or Mac), Write Now (Mac), Claris Works (Mac) for the text and Excel (Win or Mac) for Tables are the most preferable software for submission. The corresponding author of Research Articles, Research Information, Invited Reviews and Proposals will receive 50 free offprint.
