An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance
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...
