(This page will be used to link to documents/resources pertaining to oat gene nomenclature and the Nomenclature Committee. Please send suggestions for content, etc., to the editor: oatnewsletter@gmail.com)

At the AOWC meeting in 2014, it was decided that the Nomenclature Committee would serve the oat research community better by becoming a part of the IOC. This change was agreed upon at the 2016 IOC meeting. The current membership of the Nomenclature Committee (IONC) is listed here. A page has been set up on GrainGenes to host official communications.
