They may potentially possess special characteristics as plant genetic resouces. For example, some adaptability to their own areas and the suitability for special usage can be expected among them, since they have a long history of cultivation as endemic varieties. Those local varieties have, however, been decreased and replaced by modern varieties. This is the report on the field research works and plant collection carried out in hilly areas of Saitama and Gumma Prefectures from November 9th to 11th, 1988. A total of fifty samples were collected, which included soybean, Glycine max (16 samples), common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris (9), adzuki bean, Vigna angularis (6), perilla, Perilla frutescens (4), buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum (4), maize, Zea mays (3), common millet, Panicum miliaceum (1), sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (1), and so on. A large diversity of local varieties of the crops were not observed in those areas. All the collected samples of adzuki bean, which have a red seed testa, resembled each other. A little variation was found in common bean. There were three types of seed colors ; 1) white, 2) reddish purple and 3) white mottled with red. Soybean is usually cultivated for two different purposes, soya paste ("miso") and boiled bean ("eda-mame"). A weedy form of perilla, which has black seeds, was collected in Yoshida-machi, Saitama Prefecture. Neither foxtail millet, Setaria italica, nor Japanese barnyard millet, Echinochloa utilis, were not cultivated there. The authors are very thankful to all local peoples who kindly provided them various important information on agricultural practices and seed samples for their study.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {I-1. 埼玉県, 長野県における雑豆および雑穀類在来種の探索収集, 生物研, 1988年}, volume = {5}, year = {1989}, yomi = {カツタ, マスミ and ナカガハラ, マサヒロ and ミヤシタ, ススム and イイズカ, キヨシ} }
