“…The PAGE system has been used for analysis of genetic diversity in peroba trees (Aspidosperma polyneuron; Carvalho et al, 2003), cassava (Manihot esculenta; Pereira et al, 2001), grapes (Vitis vinifera; Orasmo et al, 2007), and wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla; Frigo et al, 2009), but no such studies have been made of soybean (Glycine max) cultivars. Genetic diversity in soybean has been assessed using morphological traits (Perry et al, 1991), pedigrees (Zhou et al, 2000), geographic origins (Gorman, 1984), parentage coefficient (Miranda et al, 2007), isozymes (Yu and Kiang, 1993;Griffin and Palmer, 1995;Hirata et al, 1999), and DNA markers (Abdelnoor et al, 1995;Li and Nelson, 2001;Ude et al, 2003;Xu and Gai, 2003;Priolli et al, 2002Priolli et al, , 2004Bonato et al, 2006;Yamanaka et al, 2007;Fu et al, 2007;Hwang et al, 2008).…”
