Abstract: Most of the P in soybean seed is stored in the form of phytic acid (myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexaphosphate), and phytic acid is anti-nutritional factor to human being and nonruminant livestock. Lowering the phytate content would improve the bioavailability of trace element, protein and total P in the soybean seeds, decrease excess waste of P and reduce P pollution in water system. The objective of this article is to review the research development of soybean low phytate lines and their genetic, agronomic and nutritional characteristics.
