Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soybean is grown worldwide for its protein, oil and other useful seed components. Demand of soybean has been increasing dramatically during last 20 years. The genomic data and tools, and genetics of soybean for cultivar development are rapidly improving, especially in developed countries. To increase soybean production in order to fulfil demand worldwide, genetic improvements and development of breeding techniques are necessary. This Special Issue on the “Genetics and Breeding for Better Quality and Yield in Soybean” includes papers on both basic and applied research highlighting all aspects of the genetics, breeding, biotechnology, germplasm enhancement, and any new theories which can improve soybean quality and yield. Welcome manuscripts both reviews and original articles which have impact of following keywords:
