Editorial remarks


1998 is the year of 9th International Wheat Genetics Symposium. Everybody must look for meeting each other at Saskatoon under Canadian blue sky. Please be careful for the registration described in detail in Information of this volume.

The editorial board is proud of issuing the present volume, because the contents is ideal for the original aim of WIS with a variety of information, including seven research articles, four research information, an opinion on the discussing issue, a gene catalog, a literature list, as well as an announcement of a database construction. Especially, the database, KOMUGI, should be one of achievement of international cooperation by wheat researchers, because it contains various genetic stocks historically established by the pioneers worldwide. Although KOMUGI itself, meaning wheat in a Japanese word is for Japanese domestic conservation, we hope the scientific achievement should be commonwealth of the world.

The next issue of WIS will be under review by new members of the editorial board. It should be more attractive and informative, if you contributors decide to open research results and information you have already accumulated in your laboratory to the world.

Season's greeting and a happy new year for 1998.

Editor, T. S.
