Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers Peter Goldblatt is editor, together with D. E. Johnson (Timber Press, Portland) of the Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers, a project funded by the National Science Foundation. For this project, contributing editors throughout the world collect information on original chromosome counts published in the scientific literature, and the data is assembled in biennial indices published by the Missouri Botanical Garden. An Index covering the years 1994-1995 was published in 1998 and another for 1996-1997 was released in November 2000. A three-year Index for the years 1998-2000 is in preparation and is expected to be ready for publication in Spring 2002. Marie Johnson works part-time managing data entry and processing for the project. Plant chromosome numbers for the years 1984-1997 are accessible online through the Missouri Botanical Garden’s w3TROPICOS database. The following editions of Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers are available online from MBG Press.
