The central part of the Kii peninsular is mountainous and the cultivable fields are mostly located on mountainsides. Millets used to be grown in these areas as a staple food in place of rice. A total of 90 samples were collected, 26 of soybeans (Glycine max), 10 of azuki beans (Vigna angularis),28 of kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), 5 of peas (Pisum sativum), 8 of foxtail millets (Setaria italica), 3 of common millets (Panicum miliaceum), 3 of sorghums (Sorghum bicolor), 2 of buckwheats (Fagopyrum esculentum), 2 of maize (Zea mays), Rice bean (Vigna umbellata), Yard long-bean(Vigna unguiculata) and ground nut (Arachis hypogaea). It is relatively easy to find farmers who grow landraces of millets or legumes in most villages. Landraces of soybean varies in the seed coat color and are yellowish white, green, black and brown. The pale yellow colored and small seed size varieties, which is suitable for processing tofu (soybean cake) or miso (soybean paste) has disappeared in many villages. Kidney beans were distinguished by the seed coat colors, planting seasons and vine types. Several farmers grow multiple types of soybean and kidney bean landraces. Foxtail millets, which are different in seed coat colors as yellowish orange or ash brown, were collected in four villages. In the village of Mie, the landrace seeds of millets were distributed to local farmers for supplying the confectionery industry.}, pages = {1--13}, title = {三重県および奈良県における豆類・雑穀類在来品種の探索収集}, volume = {14}, year = {1999}, yomi = {ナカヤマ, ヒロキ and カツタ, マスミ} }
