Abstract

Adventitious roots were observed on 3 wild perennialGlycine species, in short-poddedG. clandestina, G. latifolia and mostG. tabacina (2x, 4x, 6x), while other species lacked adventitious roots. This suggests that the adventitious roots trait is associated with B genome species. Intra- and interspecific F1 hybrids reveal that adventitious roots apparently are inherited recessively. The presence of adventitious roots or short-poddedG. clandestina, coupled with infertility with longer-poddedG. clandestina, and enzymatic and leaflet morphology differences between the twoG. clandestina subgroups, supports segregation of the short-podded form as a separate taxon.
