One major mission of GSC during its inception was to publish a genetics journal, aiming to provide a window for Chinese geneticists to showcase their new discoveries.

The first issue covered breeding and genetics of several crop plants, including wheat, tobacco, maize, octoploid triticale, peanut and upland cotton, protoplast isolation and fusion, observation of cell nuclei during mouse spermatogenesis, derivation of early season rice, etiology and pathogenesis of favism, a good collection of Chinese genetic studies then.展开更多
