Alfalfa can form root nodules even in the absence of rhizobial bacteria in a process controlled by cytokinin and the regulator NIN, and initiated by the plant itself; these observations provide a foundation for engineering nodule-like organs in other crops.

A key mechanism underlying SL-repressed drought acclimation in rice is uncovered and genome editing of key components in SL pathway enhances drought resistance in NP, Huazhan (HZ), and IRAT109 and provides an effective strategy to improve drought resistance in diverse rice varieties amid ongoing climate change.

Using a bottom‐up approach, this work demonstrates that the RR2b transcription factor activates cytokinin signaling for plant growth and reproductive fitness but represses disease‐resistance and root‐nodulation pathways, and offers insights into decoupling trade‐offs between yield and blight resistance to enhance crop...

This study identified sidt1, a semi‐dwarf, high‐tillering mutant exhibiting a compact architecture and enhanced lodging resistance, and identified SiDT1 as a key regulator of plant architecture and establish a semi‐dwarf ideotype reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution.
