Procedure for the submission of papers
Manuscripts shall be written in English, in a language which is grammatically correct, clear and to the point. They should be sent to the Chief Editor, Dr. Anne B黮ow-Olsen, Fures?Parkvej 23, DK-2830 Virum, Denmark. Manuscripts are first to be submitted on paper (two copies). The Chief Editor will notify the authors on acceptance and whether or not revisions are needed.
When a paper is finally accepted and any necessary revisions made, authors are requested to submit the final version on computer diskette. A print-out (two copies) should be submitted simultaneously. Suitable formats are: Word and WordPerfect for PC's; Floppy disk sizes 3?inches. Word processing systems other than those listed above are normally acceptable if MSDOS or Apple Macintosh is used. Authors should not submit a diskette until the paper has been accepted for publication.
Proofs will be forwarded to authors for correction, which should be restricted to printer's errors. Other substantial alterations can be undertaken only at the author's expense. Proofs must be returned to the editor within three weeks. Twenty-five reprints are provided free. Further copies may be ordered when returning proofs. In the case of joint authorship proofs, reprint order forms and free reprints will be sent to the first named author only.

Instructions for full length papers
Papers should be typed double-spaced on one side only of A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper, with wide margins; all sheets should be numbered consecutively. Two copies should be submitted. A shortened version of the title, for use as a running heading, should be inserted in the top right-hand corner of the first page. The title should be concise but informative, containing key words which describe the subject matter for use in abstracting systems. The name of the author(s) and the full postal address of the institution where the work was carried out should follow the title. Authors are asked to give an E-mail address where possible. The E-mail address should be given in parentheses after the postal address. A summary indicating the scope of the paper in not more than 200 words, should be typed immediately below this. Papers describing experimental work should normally have the subject matter grouped under six main headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References. Main headings are printed in heavy type, secondary headings in italics. A scientific (Latin) name included in an italicised heading appears in Roman type. Abbreviations should be defined the first time they are used, although initial letters, without punctuation, may be used for easily recognised organisations or countries (for example ISTA, USA, FAO).
Capital letters and Roman numerals should be used in both headings and text only when essential (figure 2, not Fig. II or Figure II). Except when occurring in a series of numbers or in conjunction with a specific recognised unit of measurement, numbers from one to nine should be spelt out (8 mm, 5 g, m-2, but nine hours, three months). The percentage sign should be used in conjunction with a number (7%), but percentage should be written in full when used as a noun (percentage germination, not per cent germination or % germination). Measurements should be expressed metrically, whenever possible following the Syst鑝e International d'Unit閟 (SI) (published by OFFILIB, 48 rue Gay-Lussac, F-75005 Paris).
Species should be described by their scientific (Latin) names; at the first mention in the main text the full binomial and authority must be given, but subsequently the genus should be abbreviated to its initial letter and the authority omitted. Authorities are not quoted after Latin names in the title or summary. When a name has been stabilised by ISTA in the ISTA List of Stabilized Plant Names (see http://www.ars-grin.gov/~sbmljw/istaintrod.html), synonyms must not be used. For species not included in this list authors are advised to consult http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/tax/.
References in the text should be cited by author's surname and year of publication in brackets after the statement they support. If there are more than two authors, citations should quote the surname of the first author and the words "et al.". All names should be included in the list of references. At the end of the paper, references should be listed alphabetically in the form: Name, Initials (year). Title of journal or other source, volume number, first and last page numbers. The titles of periodicals should be written without abbreviation. Titles of books must also be given in full, together with the publisher's name and the place of publication. The following are correct:
Author, A.B., Author, C.D. and Author, E.F. (1999). Title of article. Journal Title in Full, 00, 123-456.
International Seed Testing Association (1999). International Rules for Seed Testing. Seed Science and Technology, 27, Supplement, 333pp.
Author, A.B. and Author, C.D. (1999). Chapter in book. In Book Title, (eds. E.F. Editor and G.H. Editor), vol. 3, pp. 123-456, Publisher, City.
When a paper is cited which has been published in another language, its title may be translated. The translation should appear between square brackets, as follows:
Author, G.H. and Author, I.J. (1999). Title in another language. [Title in English]. Journal Title in Full, 00, 12-34.
Tables and figure captions should be typed on separate sheets from the main text and numbered in separate series. Figures may be supplied as computer graphics (preferably compatible with Word or Wordperfect) or as drawings in black indelible ink on white card or on graph paper. Each figure should be submitted as a separate file. Shadings should be avoided in the figures. Lettering should be kept to a minimum and should be at least 2 mm in the final print. Photographs should only be submitted if they are essential to an understanding of the paper, and may be submitted as scans. In exceptional circumstances based on technical necessity, colour prints may published.
