Abstract: Soybean is high in isoflavones of secondary substances, the soybean isoflavones is involved in disease resistance, environmental adaptation and regulation of growth and development of the crop. Soybean isoflavones is also phyto-estrogens which is used to prevent and treat human many diseases and tumors. In this paper, of soybean isoflavones the structure, regulation and signals transduction in biosynthesis process, physiological and ecological functions, as well as its medical effects and application in human health is discussed carefully; furthermore, on soybean isoflavones the developing and research trend to be strengthened in the future is analyzed, these provide valuable theoretical information for relevant researches.
