Six cultivars and five plant introductions of Glycine max L. Merr. varied in picograms of DNA per cell from 1.84 to 2.61, and in number of ribosomal-RNA genes per 2 C nucleus from 960 to 2431 (Laboratory 1, Ames) and from 768 to 2095 (Laboratory 2, Rhinelander). The parameters did not correlate with seed protein content, which varied from 32.8% to 52.6%. With these materials, use of the rRNA locus size as a breeding tool for increasing percentage protein content by use of cytogenetic and genetic manipulations is not warranted.

The effect of selection for high seed protein content on plant development in soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) was investigated by comparing the lengths of growth stages of four selected populations with those of a nonselected control. Each population, grown at two locations in one season, was a composite of four crosses between G. max and its putative wild ancestor, Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc. The growth stages were planting to emergence, emergence to flowering and flowering to maturity. The length of each growth stage was measured in soybean development units (SDU) and in days. On average, populations selected for protein alone required more SDUs from planting to emergence and from emergence to flowering and fewer SDUs from flowering to maturity than did the control. The mean temperature in the stage from flowering to maturity was negatively correlated with protein content in all populations. The correlations ranged from −0.22* to −0.34**.

A biotinylated maize rRNA probe was hybridized to soybean nuclei. Hybridization was detected by using a streptavidin horseradish peroxidase biotin system. The procedure used enabled detection of heterologous complementary 18S and 25S rRNA coding genes in soybean. In diploid cultivars 'Hark' and 'Lincoln' a single pair of satellited chromosomes was present and two binding sites were detected at interphase. In plants trisomic for the satellited chromosome, three sites were observed, and in tetraploid nuclei, four sites were seen. The in situ hybridization results indicated that, for ribosomal RNA genes, Glycine max behaves as a diploid. We discuss the possibility of loss of a pair of satellited chromosomes in the evolution of soybean.Key words: biotin-labeled probe, rRNA genes, ploidy, Glycine max.
