We already explored these islands in 1990 and collected 108 accessions. Although still remains many unexplored islands in which unique crops are cultivated, it is necessary to explore in this area frequently. We conducted seven explorations on seven islands. During the explorations, we collected a total of 67 accessions including 26 accessions of vegetables, 16 of legumes, eight of cereals, five of wild sugarcane and 10 of fruit trees. Local varieties of eggplant collected in Taketomi and Iriomote islands are considered to be useful gene sources for heat tolerance, though their fruits are light purple colored. Cowpea is a popular legume in this region. More than three types are recognized to be mixed in the cowpea accessions by their maturity and seed color. In these islands, papaya fruits are always used as vegetable before maturing. We collected papaya seeds from plants resistant to virus. These crops are grown for personal use or ceremonial use by old farmers. These useful crops are now disappearing as their ageing.}, pages = {37--44}, title = {宮古・八重山諸島における亜熱帯植物遺伝資源の第二次収集}, volume = {9}, year = {1993}, yomi = {テラウチ, タカヨシ and フルヤ, シゲキ and ダイトウ, ヒロシ and ナガミネ, ツカサ and ナカノ, ヒロシ} }
