Last Updated: 2024/11/21, The Agricultural Life and Engineering Research Institute of the Department of Rural Revitalization in South Korea has recently successfully developed a molecular breeding technology for soybeans, which means that the mass production of organic soybeans containing anticancer ingredients in South Korea will become a reality. The redifferentiation technology of soybean plants through tissue culture in South Korea is not very developed, so the type-to-quality conversion soybeans are mainly imported from the United States. The Rural Zhenxing Department revealed that molecular breeding technology is known as the third generation genetic engineering technology, and using this technology, higher value-added soybeans can be produced, which is important in increasing farmers' income.

   South Korea through tissue culture soybean plant redifferentiation technology is not very developed, so the conversion of soybean is mainly imported from the United States. The Rural Zhenxing Department revealed that molecular breeding technology is known as the third generation genetic engineering technology, and using this technology, higher value-added soybeans can be produced, which is of great significance in increasing farmers' income.

Molecular breeding method, also known as genetic engineering breeding method, is to recombine exotic (extracted from other organisms) or synthetic DNA (or RNA) fragments artificially at the molecular level, and then introduce them into the cells of "recipient" organisms through certain vectors and combine with the original DNA to make offspring "express" the genetic traits controlled by the newly introduced genetic information carried by DNA (or RNA). Thus the modern breeding methods of new varieties (or new species) can be created quickly, stably and directionally. The difference between it and general breeding is that it breaks through the boundary of "species", thus greatly expands the scope of gene communication, and is the specific application of the theoretical and technical achievements of molecular genetics in breeding.

This "new process", also known as "gene transfer" and "gene grafting", enables people to transform or reconstruct biological heredity, just as accurately as engineers carry out construction according to a pre-designed blueprint, creating new varieties or species that cannot be created by general breeding methods. Molecular breeding method will revolutionize breeding technology and enter a new stage with more precision and stronger purpose, showing an attractive prospect.
