The QCD evolution equation for the antisymmetric flavor multiplet is solved in SU({ital N}) ({ital N}{ge}3) flavor symmetry. This work presents the leading anomalous dimensions of all possible baryon multiplets in SU({ital N}) flavor symmetry. Expanding the quark distribution amplitudes of all baryon states in terms of Appel polynomials {ital A}{sub {ital i}}({ital x}), we observe that only the antisymmetric polynomials (e.g., {ital A}{sub 1} and {ital A}{sub 4} when {ital i}{le}5) have nonzero coefficients for the antisymmetric flavor ({ital N}({ital N}{minus}1)({ital N}{minus}2)/6) multiplet. For {ital N}=3, this observation provides a constraint for building the model quark distribution of the {Lambda}{sub 1} baryon. The asymptotic high-{ital Q}{sup 2} behavior of the {Lambda}{sub 1} form factor is also presented.
