Abstract:

Although commercialization of genetically modified soybean was the earliest in the world, soybean genetic transformation was still a difficult spot in the area of plant genetic engineering. The main emphasis of transgenic technology in soybean had shifted to the establishment of efficient and stable transformation system. Genetically modified soybean had been in Chinese tables, the safety was still being questioned. In the paper, main methods of genetic transformation of soybean were introduced, alien genes transformed into soybean were analyzed, environmental safety and food security of transgenic soybean were discussed.
