Conteúdo: 	Quantitative genetic and statistical research have provide the theoretical framework for modern plant and animal breeding. Most of the currently used breeding methods for manipulating metric traits have their origin or rationale in quantitative genetic science. For any given breeding objective, plant breeders are faced with questions which relate to appropriate genetic materials and methods. Dudley and Moll (1969) enumerated these questions as follows: (i) is there sufficient genetic variability in the germplasm pool, (ii) how much testing is necessary, (iii) which genetic population should be used, (iv) what breeding procedure will be the most rapid, efficient and at same time, successful, (v) what type of variety will be the final goal, and (vi) will the manipulation of different traits require different procedures? An overall objective of quantitative genetic research is to help breeders find answers to these questions. Johnson and Bernard (1963) and Brim (1973) defined quantitative genetic issues that are pertinent to soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding and summarized the results of such research in soybean. The purpose of this article is to review quantitative genetic research relevant to soybean breeding that has been reported since 1973 and also to summarize some of the important results from research prior to 1973.
