The Evaluation of Agronomic Traits of Wild Soybean Accessions (Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc.) in Heilongjiang Province, China

Wild soybean germplasm is distributed widely in China, particularly Heilongjiang Province. In this study, 242 wild accessions from four agricultural divisions Province were evaluated based on six qualitative and eight quantitative traits. Results showed that a large amount of variation occurred these Abundant traits included the type (78.51%), purple flowers (90.50%), needle leaf (39.26%), black seed (83.88%), brown hilum (52.07%), mud film (87.60). multivariate analysis 100-seed weight, seeds weight per plant, number effective pods, invalid pods significantly different among samples (p < 0.05). A total 27 germplasms screened. Cluster identified into two groups, not following geographical distribution pattern, with rich resources revealed northern site. The present study indicated should be conserved situ. genetic diversity soybeans sites suggested its significant potential utilization improvement breakthrough for breeding. This information will help to exploit conserve
