Interpretive Summary: In late 2022, over 50 soybean researchers met to discuss updates in the soybean genetics and genomics research community and to determine key research priorities for the next five years. Here, we summarize those recent soybean research accomplishments and outline research goals for 2024-2028. In addition to research goals, we identified the Future of Soybean Funding and Training the Next Generation of Soybean Researchers as key priority areas. We hope that this work will inform our community and increase support for soybean research.

Technical Abstract: This strategic plan summarizes the major accomplishments achieved in the last quinquennial by the soybean genetics and genomics research community and outlines key priorities for the next five years (2024-2028). This work is the result of deliberations among over 50 soybean researchers that held a 2-day workshop in St Louis, MO, USA, at the end of 2022. The plan is divided into seven traditional areas/disciplines: Breeding, Diseases and Pests, Physiology and Abiotic Stress, Functional Genomics, Biotechnology, Genomic Resources and Datasets, and Computational Resources. Two additional sections were added to address pressing issues that were revealed during the workshop, including the Future of Soybean Funding, and Training the Next Generation of Soybean Researchers. This installment of the soybean genomics strategic plan provides a snapshot of recent progress while looking at future goals that will improve resources and enable innovation among the community of basic and applied soybean researchers. We hope that this work will inform our community and increase support for soybean research.
