SEED PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS PROFILES OF WILD SOYBEAN (G. SOJA) IN CHINA : THE FREQUENCIES AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF Ti AND Spl ALLELES AND THE HYPOTHESIS ON THE ORIGINAL AREA OF SOYBEAN
Xu Bao;Zhao Shu-wen;Zou Shu-hua;Zhen Hui-yu Hu Ziang;Wang Hong-Xin The frequencies oi’ Ti and Spl alleles of seed protein of 339 wild soybean accessions in China were calculated on the basis of protein electr ophoresis analysis. About 80; of the accessions had the Tia allele and only one was identified as having the Tic allele. About 47; of the accessions had the Spia allele and only one had neither Spla nor Splb. According to the geographical distribution of Tia allele frequencies;8 regions were divided in China. Judging from the difference of Tia; distribution between wild and cultivated soybean;it was supposed thai North China might be the main origonal area of soybean.
