SESAME............................... 105 LIST OF SESAME/SAFFLOWER WORKERS............. 110 PORE WORD Following the first issue of the Sesame and Safflower Newsletter which had a fair level of participation of researchers around the world, the publication of this second issue will continue with the task of promoting the flow and exchange of information on different aspects of these two important oil crops. The annual publication of this Newsletter was one Sf the recommendations of the first FAO sesame and safflower expert consultation held in Viterbo, Italy, in December of 1984. This recommendation was accomplished with success in 1985 with the publication of the first combined Newsletter edited by Prof. A. Ashri who made an excelent job. In the present issue, the level of participation has increased, including a total of 15 reports and short papers and 22 abstract of thesis or new papers. It is hoped that this increasing participation will continue in the future contributing to the improvement of these neglected oil crops. The structure of the present iS$ue is, in general, similar to the first one. In addition to the articles and abstracts of new papers I have included selected citations of sesame and safflower papers in the period 1984-85 to complete the citations of the first Newsletter which included the period 1980-84. I have also included an additional list of experts in sesame and safflower. I wish to thank to all the contributors who made possible this second issue and at the same time I would like to ask to the experts arround the world for new publishable material for the coming ones. I would like to thank specially to Dr. C. Pineda of the FAO who coordinated the obtention of the material of the Newsletter and helped with his suggestions and interest. Thanks are also given to my colleages from the Center of Cordoba Mr. F. Insua and Mr. J. Dominguez for their comments in the preparation of the manuscript and to Mrs. M. Lopez Villarrubia for the typing. J. Fernandez Martinez, Editor -2- NOTICES TO READERS Contributions for the 1987 edition of the sesame and safflower newsletter. As recommended by the Expert Consultation in December 1984, the Sesame and Safflower Newsletter will appear annually. Contributions are solicited from all sesame and safflower specialists for the 1987 edition of the Newsletter. The contributions should be up to 2 paqes 10nq and describe briefly research findinqs, new techniques, new cu1tivars, promisinq qermp1asm, seeds for distribution, seed requests, technoloqica1 developments, etc. Please send also abstracts of recently published papers (with full citation) and of dissertations and theses. Please send soon all items for the Newsletter to: Dr. C. Pineda Crop and Grassland Production Service Plant Production and Protection Division FAO, Via delle Terme di Caraca1la 00100 Rome, Italy Note on the Intercountry variety adaptation trials AGPC/FAO, informs to the sesame and safflower experts and institutions who answered the quesstionaire for Intercountry sesame/safflower variety adaptation trials, that since most of you can only provide small quantities of seeds, efforts are beinq made to find one or two institutions wi11inq to receive your materials, increase them and distribute seeds to all interested persons. Note to safflower researchers referinq to the Second International Safflower Conference The Second International Safflower Conference it fs expected to be held at the beqininq of 1988, Dr. Hans­ Henninq Muende1 from Canada was nominated 1n the last Conference at Davis, California in 1981, as chair perdon of the continuinq committee for orqanizinq the second one. In order to receive d~tai1s of this second Conference, researchers ar~ kindly requested to send detailed address and workinq responsabilities to: Dr. Hans-Henninq Muende1 Plant Science Section Research Station ~.O. Box 3000 Main Lethbridqe, Alberta" Canada, T1J4B1 -3- NORTH AFRICA/NEAR EAST SEMINA~ eN OILSEED CROPS Under the project RAB/84/011, Req~onal Consultancy Serv~ce and training on Oilseed crops, took place ~n Rabat, Morocco, the North Africa/Near East Seminar on oilseed crops from 14th to 25 th September of 1986. The general objeetives of the sem1nar were: 1. Prov~de a forum for exona~qe of knowledge and expert~se available in the region. 2. Study the problems ecounterp.d in growing oilseed crops ~n the countr~es of Near East and North Afr~ca.
