Abstract
The genus Glycine is one of the most important genera in legume plants. It is divided into two subgenera, Glycine Willd. (perennial) and Soja (Moench) F.J. Herm (annual). The subgenus Soja includes two species: an economically very important crop, the soybean [(G. max (L.) Merr.)], and its wild annual progenitor, G. soja Sieb. and Zucc. The subgenus Glycine contains 26 wild perennial species. The annual and perennial soybean species are significantly distantly related. Wild perennial Glycine species have great potential for soybean improvement. These species are extremely diverse morphologically, cytologically, and genomically, grow in very diverse climates, and have a wide geographical distribution. They are a rich source of agronomically useful genes. The genus Glycine offers a good model for studying evolution in natural allopolyploids. The primarily Australian perennial subgenus Glycine includes a large, recently formed allopolyploid complex comprising several diploid genomes that have formed polyploids in various combinations. During the past two decades, literature on genomic relationships in Glycine has been dominated by cytogenetics and molecular studies. The comprehension of genomic relationships among species is important to systematists, evolutionary biologists, cytogeneticists, molecular biologists, and plant breeders. This chapter provides an update on classical and molecular studies in the genus Glycine and their use for soybean improvement.
