摘要

Soybean is a major global source of vegetable oil and protein, with over 77% of its production used in livestock feed, while the remainder is processed into various soy products for human consumption and biofuel production. However, climate change, characterized by prolonged drought periods and rising temperatures, has increasingly threatened soybean productivity, leading to substantial yield losses. For developing soybean germplasm with improved resilience to abiotic stress, researchers have explored various strategies to combat these challenges. Although these approaches have shown success, they still have inherent limitations and necessitate further advancements. In recent years, the field of crop improvement has been revolutionized with the new Plant Breeding Technologies (NPBTs), offering a powerful tool to improve stress resilience in soybean. This review highlights key abiotic stresses affecting soybean and explores the promising stress-resilient soybean germplasm developed through NPBTs. Special emphasis is given to specific NPBTs, which have demonstrated strong potential for improving abiotic stress-resilience in soybean. The insights presented aim to assist the agricultural sector in cultivating high-yield, stress-resilient soybean cultivars.
