Article Synopsis
- - The soybean is a critical global crop known for its high protein and oil content, essential for nutrition and bioenergy, and the review focuses on recent advances in genetic improvement to enhance resistance to environmental stresses and improve yields and nutritional value.
- - The study highlights various breeding techniques, including traditional methods, marker-assisted selection, and modern biotechnological approaches such as genetic engineering, which aim to create transgenic soybeans with desirable traits like herbicide resistance and pest tolerance.
- - Despite advancements, challenges persist in transformation processes and regulatory issues, but exploring wild soybean varieties and genetic diversity through epigenetics and microbiomes could enhance resilience, supporting food security and sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change.
