- Abstract
Molecular breeding is the main force driving the global soybean production development, and has become the core technology in competition of the international soybean seed industry. This review summarized the progress in molecular breeding of soybean made in 2012 and 2013. In these two years, there was rapid development in research of functional genomics due to the application of high-throughput technologies. New genes involved in flowering, yield, nodulation, resistance and tolerances had been isolated from soybean. In the field of molecular mapping, some new markers or QTLs had been identified, and the integration between conventional markers and novel technologies have been enhanced. Soybean genetic transformation system had been further optimized and some genes have been transformed into soybean to identify their functions. New individual or stacked transgenic events conferring insect resistance and herbicide resistance had been approved for import as food, feed or commercial planting in many countries. The paper also prospected the development of soybean molecular breeding in the near future in this article.
