Key scientific objectives of soybean biology research are to identify and define the functions of soybean genes, and uncover when and how genes work together to produce phenotypic traits. Novel omics and biotechnology tools offer enormous potential to investigate the regulatory networks controlling agronomic traits in soybean. Rapid progress in soybean genome sequencing has facilitated research in soybean omics and biotechnology in China. An overview of soybean omics and biotechnology research in China is presented in this article, which focuses on recent applications of functional genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics research. Soybean research in China is mainly based on various platforms such as molecular marker development, germplasm resources, mutation library construction, and cDNA library construction. Among the different agronomic traits of soybean, quality, stresses, and development are three major traits studied by Chinese soybean scientists. The future prospects of soybean research in China also are discussed.
