IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE RECEIVING THE SOYBEAN GENETICS NEWSLETTER. . .
Increasing expenses and funding restrictions made it necessary, in 1989, to institute a subscription fee for the Soybean Genetics Newsletter. We struggled for several years to prevent such a decision, but regretfully, we now must charge for the Newsletter. This fee applies to all subscribers: libraries, international centers, research scientists, authors, and subscription agencies. There are no special rates available. Please detach and complete the following order form and return it with payment if you wish to receive a copy of the current Newsletter when it comes out in April. NOTE: Deadline for receipt of articles: March 1, 1998.
If the data presented in the Soybean Genetics Newsletter are not to be used in publications without the consent of the respective authors, please include this statement with your article. If not included, you consent to have your data cited without your permission.
