4. INTRODUCTION
Soybean is the major legume crop of the
World in terms of total production.
Soybean seeds contain 40% protein and
20% oil on dry basis.

5. ORIGIN
This crop originated in china and is
currently grown in 35 countries of the world.
United states is the largest producers
followed by Brazil, China, and Argentina.

Because it produces about three times
more protein than rice, wheat, or
maize. 8

The plant serves as good souce of
nitrogen by fixing about 50kg per
hectare.
It has become the major source of
edible vegetable oils.

10. CYTOLOGY
Glycine is the only genus where species
have diploid chromosome number of
40 and 80 but not 20.
The large number of chromosomes,
small size,and similarity of the
chromosome have often discouraged
cytological investgation in soybean.

12. FLORAL BIOLOGY
Soybean belongs to family
legumioseae and it is
highly self pollinated.
Soybean has perfect
flower consistig of calyx,
Corolla, pistil and
stamens.
There are 5sepals,
green,hairy sepals.
12
13. Contd…
The corolla begins to emerge
from the sepals.
The are five petals,one standard,
two keel and two wing petals.
The keel petals encloses the pistal
and the stamen.
Stamens are 10 in number and
diadelphous,nine are united to
form a tube around the ovary
and the tenth is free.
13
14. Contd…
The pistle has a single ovary with generally
two or three ovules,a long style and stigma.
The stigma is slightly hairy and covered by
the Keel.
Fruit is a legume.

15. SELFING AND CROSSING TECHNIQUES
Equipments required.
Dissecting forceps.
Needles.
Paper clips.
Cover bags.
15
16. Selfing
Soybean is
predominantly a self
pollinated crop.In
order to ensure
complete selfing,the
inflorence is enclosed
in a bag. The
bagging material
used is paper bag.
16
22. Contd…..
Remove all the diadelphous stamens with
the help of forceps or needle.
22
23. STEPS OF POLLINATION.
Pollination is done in
the next morning.
Collect all the pollen
from the male parent
by removing organs
with the forceps when
the anthers are
matured.
