Analysis of the parentage compeitions about 274 soybean cultivers (lines) developed from. the soybean varieties regional test and preliminary test in Jilin Province from 1989 to 1994, showed that the genetic base of ones was relatively narrow, the parent germplasms introduced were very few, the breeding method was extremely unitary but the breeding orgnization was more than unwieldy. Therefore it is necessary to readjust promptly the current situation of soybean breeding in Jilin Province and to plan a new soybean breeding procedure and distribution.
