This issue of the Botanic Gardens Micropropagation Newsletter is published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in association with Botanic Gardens Conservation International. The production has been much faciliatated by the addition of Peter Atkinson as Deputy Editor. His main project is the establishment of databases for micropropagation and conservation literature, micropropagation protocols and conservation projects, which we hope to describe in more detail in the next issue. The 'Recent References' section of the Newsletter is now produced from these databases.

A major forthcoming event is the 4th International Botanic Gardens Conservation Congress in September in Perth, Western Australia - further details can be found here. This congress will involve workshops on a range of subjects, including the role of in vitro and molecular techniques in conservation.

We have received a suggestion that experiments reported in the newsletter should be accompanied by details of herbarium voucher specimens (e.g. Ronse, this issue). We believe that this is a good idea, and encourage contributors to include this information in their text.
