【Objective】 The present study was aimed to analyze the pedigrees of the 1 300 cultivars released during 1923-2005, to reveal the geographical sources and types of their end ancestors and direct parents, especially those during the recent 20 years, and to summarize the implications in utilization of breeding approaches and parental materials. 【Method】 Based on the collected pedigree data of the 1 300 soybean cultivars released during 1923-2005 in China, the end ancestors and direct parents were traced and then the nuclear contribution from the ancestors estimated and analyzed. 【Result】 Total 1 300 released soybean cultivars were traced to their 670 final ancestors, composed of 51.64% landraces, 38.36% breeding lines, 7.01% improved cultivars, 2.54% wild accessions and 0.45% uncertain type, which provided 76.29%, 14.93%, 7.79%, 0.54% and 0.45% nuclear contribution to the 1 300 released cultivars, respectively. The 1 300 released cultivars were derived from 1391 direct parents, composed of 27.76% cultivars, 6.10% exotic introductions, 11.62% landraces, and 54.52% breeding lines. Among the 1 019 released cultivars developed from artificial hybridization, about 71.78% were from the crosses among cultivars and breeding lines. Total 54 major ancestors out of the 670 ones and 37 major direct parents out of the 1 391 ones of the cultivars released during 1986-2005 were nominated. 【Conclusion】After a comparison between the data of the cultivars released during 1923-2005 and those during 1923-1995 reported before, the number of end ancestors and direct parents was about the double, the exotic germplasm increased, the geographic source extended, and therefore, the genetic bases of cultivars released during recent ten years in China were broadened. However, the mostpart of the end ancestors was used in only 1-5 released cultivars, while only a few end ancestors provided large genetic contribution but still limited basically in their local ancestors. The authors emphasized the utilization of germplasm rather than the local sources for broadening the genetic base of future cultivars, and suggested further exploration of the genetic structure and potential of core ancestors for achieving breeding by design strategy.
