The World Soybean Research Conference (WSRC) is a regular
forum for the world's soybean researchers to exchange research results and
development activities across all segments of the soybean industry and promote
international communication and cooperation. A Continuing Committee consisting
of representatives from different regions of the world gives guidance to the
conference planners. Being the top international conference for the soybean
research community and the industry at large, a quinquennial event, seven WSRCs
have been held in different countries since being launched by the University of
Illinois in 1975.
The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Crop Science Society of China
are pleased to jointly host WSRC VIII. An excellent opportunity will be
provided for participants from various regions of the world to share the latest
global progress of science and technology in soybean research. Traditional
areas where papers will be presented include soybean germplasm, genetics and
breeding, molecular biology and biotechnology, physiology and crop production,
crop protection, soybean storage and processing, soybean product and use,
global demand / trade / strategy.
