Since whole genome sequences of rice were made publically accessible, the number of articles on new rice genes has increased remarkably. The Committee on Gene Symbolization, Nomenclature and Linkage (CGSNL) of the Rice Genetics Cooperative published the gene nomenclature system for rice and encouraged researchers to follow the rules before publishing their results. The CGSNL provides an on-line registration system for newly identified rice genes to prevent conflicts and/or duplication of gene name in journal articles.
Recently, the CGSNL surveyed genes in the rice WRKY family in published journal articles and found several duplicated gene names.
To discuss and resolve inconsistencies in WRKY gene nomenclature, the rice WRKY working group was established and redefined the nomenclature. This report announces the conclusion.
自从水稻全基因组序列公开以来，关于新的水稻基因的文章数量显著增加。水稻遗传合作委员会的基因符号化、命名和连锁委员会（CGSNL）发布了水稻基因命名系统，并鼓励研究人员在发表结果前遵循这些规则。CGSNL 为新鉴定的水稻基因提供了在线注册系统，以防止在期刊文章中出现基因名称冲突和/或重复。
最近，CGSNL 在已发表的期刊文章中调查了水稻 WRKY 家族的基因，发现了几个重复的基因名称。
为了讨论和解决 WRKY 基因命名中的不一致性，成立了水稻 WRKY 工作组，并重新定义了命名规则。本报告宣布了这一结论。
