[For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.] Let \(G\) be a semi-simple, simply connected Chevalley group over a field \(k\), \(T\) a maximal \(k\)-split torus, and \(B\) a Borel subgroup, \(B\supset T\). Let \(Q\) be a parabolic subgroup, \(Q\supseteq B\). Let \(X\) be a Schubert variety in \(G/Q\). Let \(L\) be an ample line bundle on \(G/Q\). Using ``standard monomial theory'' one can construct an explicit basis for \(H^ 0(X,L)\). As a consequence, one is able to determine the singular locus of \(X\). This paper gives a brief survey of standard monomial theory and its application to the determination of singular loci of Schubert varieties; further, for the case \(G=G_ 2\), the singular loci of Schubert varieties are explicitly determined. [Such an explicit determination has been done by the author for the cases \(A_ n\), \(B_ n\) \(C_ n\), \(D_ n\) also, cf. Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 16, 83-90 (1987; Zbl 0635.14022)].
