Abstract

The genus Glycine Willd. is currently divided into two subgenera Glycine and Soja (Moench) F. J. Herm.1 The subgenus Soja includes the soybean, G. max (L.) Merr. and its closest relative, the wild soybean, G. soja Sieb. and Zucc. (Table 1.). The wild soybean is found in open fields, hedgerows, along roadsides and riverbanks in the Republic of China, adjacent areas of the USSR (Primorskiy and Khaborovsk Kray), Korea, Japan and Taiwan.2 Both G. max and G. soja are diploids (2n=40).3–10 Evidence gather from cytogenetic, morphological and seed protein studies suggest that the two species are conspecific11–16 and supports the hypothesis that G. soja is the wild ancestor of the cultivated soybean.3,4 There are few, if any, cytogenetic barriers to hybridization between the two species.
