Introduction
Soybean - Glycine max - species of legume nativeto East Asia
Classified as an oilseed rather than a pulse by the Foodand Agricultural Organization (FAO).
Main producers of soy are the United States (35%), Brazil(27%), Argentina (19%) , China (6%) and India (4%).
The beans contain significant amounts of phytic
acid, alpha-linolenic acid, andthe isoflavones genistein and daidzein.
Soya beans provide the raw material and basis forcountless forms of foodstuffs, food ingredients and
supplements such as:

- Soya flour, soya grits , different soya protein products, inparticular for convenience foods
- Traditional soya products such as tofu, soya sauce, misoand tempeh
- Substitutes for meat and milk: soya milk, soyapuddings, textured soya protein
- Animal feed
- Renewable primary products, energy crops:
- Biofuels from soya oil (particularly in the USA)
- Soya oil: basis for varnish, paints, washing and cleaningagents, lubricants, softener

Obstacles in the production of conventional soybean :- Weeds
- Insects
- Fungi
- Nematodes
- Viruses
GM soybean Has foreign DNA inserted introduced in away other than combination of male and female gametes
confers a desirable trait
Main commercial GM soybean Roundup Ready soybean marketed by Monsanto resistant to herbicide glyphosate

Need for GM soybean For incorporation of several different traits : Agronomic &
quality
1) Agronomic traits
- Weed control i.e. herbicide tolerant
- Adaptation to climate and location factors
- Tolerance to drought and salinity
- Resistance to pathogens, fungi and nematodes
- Resistance against pests
- Insect resistance against the larvae of different types of

2) Quality traits
- Increased content of oleic acid (86% instead of 23%), and less
linoleic acid
- GM-soya beans with a higher content of oleic acid are grownin the USA
- Modified protein and amino acid content: e.g. enrichmentwith methionine
- Reduced content of the polysaccharides stachyose andraffinose
- Enrichment with health-promoting ingredients, such as :sterols and stanols, secondary plant compounds that have acholesterol lowering effect, vitamin E
- emoval o harm ul substances such as aller ens

Different GM soybean varieties
1. Roundup Ready soybean - Monsanto- Resistant to glyphosate herbicide
- Major GM soyabean planted in different countries
2. Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans Monsanto(Brand : Genuity)
- Higher yield, expanded herbicide tolerance and enhancedoil products
3. Plenisha Pioneer brand soybean
- Suppresses FATB and FAD2 genes - reduces the levels oflinoleic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid present in seeds
- trans fat free and reduced saturated fat soybean oil -provides increased stability for food manufacturers fryingand baking applications.

4. Optimum GAT soybean DuPont (Pioneer Hi-bredinternational )
- Outstanding glyphosate and ALS herbicide toleranceefficacy and strong multi-year yield results
5. Dow Herbicide Tolerant Soybean
- Allows for the use of 2,4-D in soybean with excellent crop
safety in either pre-plant or post-emergence applications
5. Dicamba Tolerant Soybean Monsanto
6. HPPD Tolerant Soybean (hydroxyphenylpyruvate
dioxygenase) Bayer CropScience
7. LibertyLink soybean - Soybeans resistant to glufosinateherbicide
8. In the pipeline : Soymega by Monsanto - has stearidonic

In research
Transgenic soybean with low phytate content constructedby Agrobacterium transformation expression of amicrobial phytase (Yang S. et al., 2010)
Transgenic soybean plants containing an Arabidopsis P5 CRgene protection against heat and drought stress (DeRonde J A et al., 2004)
Anti-hypertensive activity of genetically modified soybean
seeds accumulating novokinin ( Yamada Y. et al., 2007)
Modification of isoflavones in soybean seeds via expressionof multiple phenolic biosynthetic genes (Zernova O. V. etal., 2009)

How Roundup Ready soybean ismade
Roundup Ready soybean resistant to glyphosate herbicide
Glyphosate kills plants by interfering in the synthesis ofaromatic amino acids PheAla, Trp, Tyr
Inhibits the enzyme EPSPS (enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase)
C4 strain ofAgrobacterium sp. - a species of bacteria thatwas found growing in the waste-fed column at a factory thatmade glyphosate
The C4 EPSP bacterial gene was cloned and inserted into abacterial plant vector in order to prepare for cloning intoplants.

Ori-322 is an origin ofreplication from plasmidpBr322.
Ori-V is an origin fromplasmid RK2, a plasmid thatcan propagate inAgrobacteriumtumefaciens.
SPC/STR encodes a proteinconferring spectinomycin /streptomycin resistance
AAC(3)-III encodes bacterialgentamycin-3-N-acetyltransferase type III allowingselection for gentamycinresistance in plants.
The bacterial C4 EPSP genewas modified to have astrong plant promoter (P-e35S) and a polyadenylation

The complete process begins withthe isolation of small bits of planttissue
They are grown on nutrient platesbefore being exposed to the bacteriacarying the recombinant DNAplasmid
Transformed cells will start to growand they can eventually be isolatedand transferred to a liquid thatpromotes shoot growth
After a few weeks, an entire plantcarrying the recombinant DNA isobtained
This plant is then propagated toroduce thousands of eneticall

Benefits of using RR-soybean
Some reasons for adoption of RR soybeans other thansoybean yields and weed control costs given by variousauthors are :
(a)allowing post emergence use of the inexpensive herbicide
glyphosate,
(b)saving on management costs because of its simple use,
(c)using less herbicides, and
(d)the additional advantage of reducing risk by widening thetime window for post emergence spraying.
(e)They allow for more use of reduced and no-tillage systems -

Problems with Roundup Readysoybean
The Terminator gene - to sterilize seeds produced by theplant
Allergenicity
Increased use of glyphosate
- Rapidly absorbed by foliar parts of the plant - Harm towildlife
- Glyphosate herbicides are endocrine disruptors (substancesthat interfere with hormone functioning) in human cells
- Glyphosate and Roundup damage human embryonic cells
and placental cell- Glyphosate reduces nutrient uptake in plants
Glyphosate-resistant weeds (superweeds) - transgeneescape - major problem for farmers who grow GM RR soy

Global status of GM-soybean
Only four crops beingmarketed commercially i.e.,corn, cotton, soybean andcanola
India : only Non GM soybean
The Instituto ColombianoAgropecuario (ICA), theregulatory body responsible
for approving GMOs foragriculture and livestock inColumbia , recently approvedthe commercial planting ofRoundup Ready soybeans
(MON-04032-6) developed byMonsanto

Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation Embrapalaunched a program to support non-GM soy
Market trends - Concerns about genetically engineeredfoods have caused the market demand for non GMOsoybeans to rise.
