Abstract

The serious soybean supply problem was called for attention according to an analysis of current soybean production in China and growing import from outside world. It was pointed out that for ensuring soybean supply, the only way is to keep basically self-sufficiency with some reasonable amount of supplement from import as soybean has been being the most important nutrition source in the long Chinese history and has taken the unsubstitutional position in modern food processing industry. Based on the above facts, five facets of suggestions and measures for developing domestic soybean production were raised. Furthermore, on expanding and enhancing the most important and powerful technological aspect, soybean breeding and genetics, four suggestions were put forward for the related authority^ reference. They are: (1) to further establish and improve the soybean cultivar development and breeding research systems; (2) to further establish and optimize the soybean research team with multiple discipline interaction and research atmosphere; (3) to organize some breakthrough programs with multiple disciplinary cooperation, such as those in high yield ideal type establishment, hybrid soybean production and utilization of heterosis, and creation of specific quality trait mutants; and (4) to establish an advanced soybean genomic study program for future improvement of breeding technologies.
