Report on the Survey of Wild Soybean Resources in China - National Survey Group Of Wild Soybean (My University, 2017)
Some scholars in China carried out some occasional collection of wild soybeans in the past. Xingdong Sun (Sun and Geng, 1952) used to grow and observe wild soybeans in Nanjing (Jiangsu Province), Chongqing and Baoding (Hebei Province). Jinling Wang and co-workers (1973) collected wild soybeans in the 1960s from Fuyuan, Heilongjiang Province in the North to Hengyang, Hunan Province in the South of China and carried some investigations on the day-light and ecological types of wild soybeans. However, large scale of survey and collection had never been carried out in China until recent years. With increasing enlargement of the scope of productive activities, and the gradual reduction of wild soybean resources, it became essential to organize national surveying of wild soybean resources in China. A nationwide surveying was conducted from 1979 in China, and the present paper summarizes some of the results out of the surveying and collection trips on wild soybean resources from 1979 to 1981.
