Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max, L. Merr.; 2n = 40) is an annual seed legume for the production of oil and protein. It is the world’s most important plant protein source for human consumption and animal feeds, in addition to being one of the most important sources of a high quality, low cholesterol edible oil.

This review article is dedicated to late Prof. G.C. Yin (1936–1994) in honor of his contributions to the advance in soybean research. Prof. Yin passed away, suddenly, after the completion of the first draft of this manuscript.
