This chapter reviews four main aspects of genetic diversity in soybean: formation, collection,
evaluation, and utilization. Because the benefit of genetic diversity can be realized only by …

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an economically important legume with 2n= 40
chromosomes, whose seeds contain an average of 40% protein and 20% oil, and its plants …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., has been grown as a forage and as an important
protein and oil crop for thousands of years. Domestication, breeding improvements and …

A combined proteomic approach was applied for the separation, identification, and
comparison of two major storage proteins, β-conglycinin and glycinin, in wild (Glycine soja) …

Jatropha curcas (jatropha) is a potential biodiesel crop. A major limitation in production is
that jatropha remains wild with low genetic variation. Related species/genera in the …

Lunasin is a unique and novel cancer preventive peptide originally isolated from soy.
Information on lunasin concentration of soybean cultivars and commercial soy proteins …

Genetic diversity assessment is prerequisite for future crop improvement programme
therefore in the present study, morphological and molecular diversity among the 12 Indian …

Some annual Glycine accessions are intermediate between the standard phenotypes of
Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Glycine soja Sieb. & Zucc. and have been labeled semiwild. Few …

The research objectives were to determine aspects of the population dynamics relevant to
effective monitoring of gene flow in the soybean crop complex in Japan. Using 20 …

It is very important to efficiently study and use genetic diversity resources in crop breeding
and sustainable agriculture. In this study, different sampling methods and sample sizes were …
