Outline of Final Research Achievements

Field investigation was carried out by narrowing down to the wild beans of Shikoku, Kochi prefecture and Kyushu as the research on the genetic characterization of native species by GIS technology and functional food ingredient evaluation research. This year we operated the UAV in earnest and finished as planned without any schedule of overcrowding about aerial photographs in full scale operation. In the two years from June 27, 2016 to March 24, 2018. Β-conglycinin, one of the major storage proteins of soybean, is one of the major allergen proteins of soybean, while having the function of lowering triglyceride, using the β-conglycinin concentration of the grown soybean as an index, Quantitative analysis of β-conglycinin concentrations of 19 kinds of conventional bean and conventional soybean. It was suggested that the expressions of 29 low-concentration and high-concentration proteins of soybean are specific, which is caused by genes and environment.
