Summary Preparation of a Barley Register: An Information Retrieval System for Cultivars. B.K. Thompson and B. R. Baum. Engineering & Statistical Research Institute and Biosystematics Research, Research Branch, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A OC6. An information storage and retrieval system has been developed which produces a register for barley ( Hordeum ) cultivars, including pedigree charts, coefficients of parentage and inbreeding, references, and synonyms and translations for each cultivar. The register also includes cross‐references and a general bibliography. Although the system is being applied specifically to barley, it is sufficiently general for use with other cultivated crops. The system is an expanded version of an earlier one developed by the same authors for oat ( Avena ) cultivars. It is described herein with particular emphasis given to modifications and additions to the previous system.
