Seed whole starch contents and amylopectin contents of 325 adzuki bean germplasm resources from major production areas in china were appraised. The results indicated that seed whole starch contents of adzuki bean were 44.79 % - 67.44 %, with the mean of 57.06 % ; amylopectin relative contents were 62.61% 98.94 %, with the mean of 82.24 % ; the differences among varieties were extremely remarkable. We obtained 16, 16 andl3 germplasm resources whose whole starch contents exceeded 62.64%, amylopectin relative con- tents exceeded 93.57 % and amylose contents exceeded 29.14 %, respectively.
