Development of the doctrine about the centers of origin of crops on example of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill

In article consecutive development of the doctrine about the centers of an origin of crops is tracked by the comparative analysis of circuits of an arrangement of the centers of speciation on N.I. Vavilov, P.M. Zhukovsky and J.R. Harlan. Modern representations about evolution of species of a genus Soja with a binding to the centers of an origin are in detail stated. On an example of soybean the polyploidy role in evolutionary process in the centers of origin is shown. The new concept of location of the secondary genetic centers is offered. The conclusion is made, that the active microcenter spontaneous polyploidy recombinogenesis of soybean in Western Ciscaucasia represents an example of new type of botanic-geographical center of formation of a genetic diversity of crops.
