Abstract

Two kinds of "group A saponin, " Aa and Ab, are present as the main constituent in soybean seed. The saponin composition and content in F₁ and F₂ seeds derived from the cross parents of Aa and Ab types were analyzed. The "group A saponin" was of Aa-Ab type in all the F₁ seeds, and the ratio of Aa type: Aa-Ab type: Ab type was 1:2:1 in the F₂ seeds. From these results, it appears that Aa and Ab were controlled by codominant allelic alternatives at a single locus. An investigation of the saponin composition of the seed hypocotyls of 18 wild lines revealed some lines in which "group A saponin" was absent.
