Abstract
A new section of Biological Abstracts (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia) will be published as from January 1948. The section (J-Abstracts of Cereals and Cereal Products) will appear monthly except during the four summer months, when it will be bi-monthly. It will bring together abstracts of the entire technological and scientific literature on the cereal grains—wheat, corn, rye, oats and barley—and on all other grains such as soya bean, cottonseed, buckwheat, etc., utilized by the milling and food industries. It will include contributions on plant breeding, cultural practices, varieties, soil and weather relations of the crops; physiology, diseases, insect pests; storage of grain and flour; milling machinery and techniques; plant sanitation; baking and nutritional studies on diets in which cereal and related products are important components; biochemistry of cereals and cereal products; enzymes; and industrial microbiology in so far as it affects the cereals and their products.
