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.
