Source of sequence:Sequence was determined from a PCR product, which was ligated to a T-vector, fromgenomic DNA ofGlycine sojaSieb. & Zucc., a wild soybean (isolate 043) collected from South China.

Trivial name: rDNA ITS region of wild soybeanDescription: ITS region of ribosomal DNA lies between 18S and 28S rRNA genes was cloned from

wild soybean,Glycine soja, with 216 bp in ITS1, 169 bp in 5.8S rRNA gene and 211 bp in ITS2.Nucleotide sequence of ITS region inGlycine sojashows 98.8% and 88.2% identity with cultivatedsoybean,Glycine maxL., andGlycine falcataBenth. respectively.
