An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance
ABSTRACT Soybean contributes to sustainable food and feed production, but some modern varieties favor yield at the cost of disease resistance. Using a bottom‐up approach, we demonstrate that the RR2b transcription factor activates cytokinin signaling for plant growth and reproductive fitness but represses disease‐resis...
