摘　　要：In 2018, we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Genetics Society of China （GSC）, which was founded in Nanjing, China in October, 1978, soon after China adopted an open door policy for reform. 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. In fact, a genetics journal named Acta Genetica Sinica （AGS） had been published since June of 1974 （Fig. 1 ）. This journal published two issues in its first year in Chinese. 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.In 2018, we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Genetics Society of China （GSC）, which was founded in Nanjing, China in October, 1978, soon after China adopted an open door policy for reform.
