Abstract

The nomenclature of species beased on classical taxonomy can be verified from cytogenetic, biochemical and molecular studies. The objective of the study presented here was to provide further information on genomic affinities among species of the genus Glycine Willd. based on crossability, meiotic chromosome pairing of F1 hybrids and seed-protein profiles. Meiotic chromosome pairing data revealed no genomic similarity between G. microphylla (BB) and G. falcata (FF), nor between G. tomentella (2n = 38; EE) and G. microphylla (BB). Despite morphological similarity between G. cyrtoloba (CC) and G. curvata no F1 hybrid was obtained, although 748 flowers were pollinated. The seed-protein banding patterns showed G. latrobeana to be closer to the A-genome species than to others. Based on these results we assign genome symbol A3A3 to G. latrobeana. Likewise, G. curvata was allotted the designation C1C1 because the seed-protein banding patterns of G. curvata and G. cyrtoloba are similar. The genome designations of Glycine species based on cytogenetic investigations may be further extended by results obtained from biochemical and molecular approaches.
