Fig. 3. Scatterplot based on the first two principal components from a principal components analysis of RAPD fragment data demonstrating the genetic relationships among soybean accessions from China, Japan, and S. Korea. Accessions from Japan and S. Korea are identified only by country but accessions from China are identified by specific province. Observations are coded as follows: K = S. Korea; J = Japan; H = Heilongjiang; N = Henan; B = Hebei; A = Shaanxi; I = Shanxi; U = Jiangsu; S = Shandong; and X = Ningxia.
