| | Soybean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Soybeans are one of the "Biotech Food" crops that are being genetically modified, and GMO soybeans are being used in an increasing number of products. | | | Currently, 81% of all soybeans cultivated for the commercial market are genetically modified. | | | Soybeans are the leading agricultural export in the United States. |

| | In contrast, in sub-Saharan Africa soybean is mostly grown by small-scale farmers either as a sole crop or mixed with sorghum, maize, or cassava. | | | Soybean (Glycine max (L.)) is a legume that grows in tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates. | | | In Africa, however, soybean has fewer disease and insect problems because the crop was recently introduced to Africa and extent of cultivation is still relatively small. |

| | Biotechnology - Soybean as a crop |
| | The soybean flower is a standard papilionaceous flower with calyx of five united sepals; zygomorphic corolla of carina, alae, and vexillum; androecium of ten diadelphous 9+1 stamens; and gynoecium of a single carpel. | | | The first species is the cultivated soybean, the second species is the wild form of the soybean, and the third species is the weedy form of the soybean (Lackey, 1981a). | | | Caviness (1970) showed that honey bees are responsible for the occasional cross-pollination, and that thrips are ineffective pollination vectors. |

| | Soybeans are classified in the division Magnoliophyta Magnoliophyta (măg'nōlēŏf`ətə), division of the plant kingdom consisting of those organisms commonly called the flowering plants, or angiosperms. | | | As a crop, soybeans are high in yield and easy to harvest; they grow well wherever corn is cultivated. | | | The green crop is used for forage and hay, and the cake as stock feed and as fertilizer. |

| | Soybean Production |
| | Soybean should follow corn, wheat, barley or other grass crops in a rotation to minimize disease carryover and to optimize the nutrient utilization within the soil profile. | | | Soybean aphids are small (approximately 1/16 inch long) soft-bodied insects and may be winged or wingless. | | | Because of seed size and physiology, soybean seeds require about 50% of the seed weight in moisture to germinate. |

| | Soybean |
| | There are several reasons for the rising interest in soybean production: (1) producers have learned they can grow the crop successfully, (2) markets have become more available, (3) effects of rotation, which improves the yield of the succeeding crop, and (4) a recognition that soybeans are an excellent source of farm-grown protein. | | | Soybean, however, is very sensitive to photoperiod, or daylength, and does not move from vegetative to reproductive growth until a critical day length is met. | | | Soybean is classed as an oil seed crop, but the seed contains twice as much protein as oil (40% protein vs. 20% oil). |

| | Soybean rust is usually found first on the lower leaves of plants, especially at or near flowering. | | | Soybean plants are susceptible to soybean rust at any stage of development, but symptoms are most common during and after flowering. | | | The development of soybean rust is favored by prolonged periods of leaf wetness (6–12 hours) and temperatures of 46 to 82 degrees F. Extended periods of cool, wet weather during the growing season would favor soybean rust epidemics. |

| | Soybean Rust |
| | Soybean rust is a serious disease that has caused significant crop losses in many soybean growing regions of the world. | | | When the pathogen is present, disease development is favored by extended periods of leaf wetness and temperatures between 50ºF and 80ºF. Because present soybean cultivars are all rust susceptible, development of rust resistant varieties is a national priority. | | | The earliest symptom of infection is a yellow mosaic discoloration on the lower leaves of maturing plants at or near flowering. |
