North Carolina State University, the University of Illinois (all USA), and the Soybean Research Institute of Nanjing Agricultural University (People's Republic of China). Much of the data compiled here were taken from Annals of Soybean Culti- vars in China (Zhang 1985), and Anna/s of Soybean Cultivars in China (1978-1992) (Hu and Tian 1993). Many additional details of the origin, distribution, description, and pedigree of Chinese soybean cultivars were obtained from personal communication with the following soybean research- ers: Mingxiang Hu and Xiangxun Meng (Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences [AAS]); Binru Wang and Xiuying Weng (Heilongjiang AAS); Shitao He (Keshan Agricultural Institute [AI], Heilongjiang); Qingkai Yang (Northeast Agricultural University [AU]); Guangfa Li and Rongchang Wang (Tonghua AI, Jilin); Xuesheng Li (Changchun AI, Jilin); Lunfan Jin (Yanbian Agricultural College [AC], Jilin); Renshuang Zhang and Baiyu Yang (Liaoning AAS); Weikui Shan (Tieling AI, Liaoning); Lihua Tan and Xiaohua Wu (Neimenggu AAS); Ruzhen Chang (Institute of Crop Germplasm Resources, Chinese AAS in Beijing); Geng Hao and Xiaohu Kang (Institute of Crop Breeding and Cultivation, Chinese AAS in Beijing); Xingtan Zhang (Genetics Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing); Mengchen Zhang (Hebei AAS); Jingrong Zhao, Xinxian Hao, and Xinghua Li (Shandong AAS); Shuying Yang (Weifang AI, Shandong); Yingli Xue, Chunlin He, and Weidong Li (Henan AAS); Xiuguang Guo and Ruilian Hao (Shangqiu AI, Henan); Tingquan Li, Hongbing Wang, and Ying Li (Shanxi AAS); Enhu Xi and Yongmin Dai (Shaanxi AAS); Changxian Li, Youbin Liu, and Dongfeng Ji (Nanjing AU); Qichang Zhu and Heping Gu (Jiangsu AAS); Jinyao Yun (Anhui AC); Ouhe Dai (Anhui AAS); Lei Li (Fuyang AI, Anhui); Guoxun Wang and Xinan Zhou (Institute of Oil Crops, Chinese AAS in Hubei); Rongchun Shu (Tianchishan AI, Hubei); Zhengwen Zhao (Hunan AAS); Zhihua Jiang and Xiaobo Wang (Sichuan AAS); Guangrui Le (Guizhou AAS); Wenying Zhu (Zhejiang AAS); Jianan Wang (Jiangxi AAS); Shuchuan Xu (Fujian AAS); Ying Luo (Shanming AI, Fujian); Dizhang Liu (Guangdong AAS); Yulan Wang (Yunnan AAS); and others.

In China, over 70 years of breeding have brought about the release of more The northeastern area (approximately between latitudes 41° and 53° N.) than 650 soybean cuhivars, which can be viewed as potential parents in includes Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and a part of Neimenggu. Spring- applied breeding. Keeping pace with the rapidly expanding database associ- planted soybeans are cultivated as a full-season crop in this area (tables 2- ated with these releases is not easy, so efficient use of this material is 3). This area is the most important soybean production base in China, difficult. producing about half of the national harvest. To address this need, this catalog describes 651 soybean cultivars
