This study provides an in-depth analysis of recent advances in MAS technology in soybeans, focusing on the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with key agronomic traits such as insect resistance, disease resistance, yield enhancement, and improved nutritional quality. The results showed that the integration of MAS into soybean breeding programs significantly shortened the breeding cycle and improved the accuracy of trait selection. This study also delves into case studies of the successful application of MAS in commercial soybean breeding programs. The aim of this study was to explore ways to improve the efficiency of soybean (Glycine max) breeding using marker-assisted selection (MAS), highlighting the potential of MAS to revolutionize soybean breeding and provide opportunities for the development of high-yield, disease-resistant and nutrient-enhanced soybean varieties.
