Abstract: Genetic transformation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) depends mainly on Agrobacterium mediation system. In recent years, the soybean genetic transformation has been developed rapidly, but there are still some problems such as lack of genotypes, low transformation efficiency, imperfect regeneration system and so on. In order to explore the main problems and strategies of soybean genetic transformation, in this review, the author introduced the modifications of the technical procedures including the selection of genotypes and explants, strains screening, marker gene selection and medium composition, in order to obtain effective solutions. And the author also introduced the application of the Agrobacterium-mediated soybean transformation in crop improvement and functional genomics.
