Abstract:	Eight soybean varieties and lines representing insect-susceptible and -resistant genotypes, and differing in plant maturity group, showed no difference in leaf dry wt. Over the growing season the total and bound sterols increased while the free sterols decreased. Sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol were the major sterols. Over the season sitosterol increased while stigmasterol decreased. No difference due to insect resistance could be established but early maturing plants showed a larger change in sterols.
