Although soybeans (Glycine max) are a major oilseed crop grown worldwide, abiotic stressors, especially drought, have a major negative influence on their output. The identification and breeding of drought-tolerant soybean varieties should be given priority since there is an evident need to boost agricultural production in this period of shrinking water supplies and rising food demand. However, due to the difficulties in phenotyping and genotyping, breeding for tolerant to drought stress is often disregarded. With a focus on key genes, this chapter thoroughly explores the present level of knowledge regarding the breeding techniques used to increase soybean tolerance against drought stress. This chapter discusses the genetic basis of drought stress tolerance in soybeans, emphasizing the genes and genomic areas that are important for this characteristic. Furthermore, reviewed on the various breeding strategies like genomic selection (GS) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) that are employed in soybean breeding programmes to increase and introgress these key genes. Furthermore, submissions are cutting-edge methods used in drought-tolerant breeding, including transcriptomics, proteomics, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, quantitative trait locus mapping and many more others.
