Soybean breeders can count on nodules
Soybean, the most important legume crop, plays a crucial role in food security and sustainable agriculture. Recently, Zhong et al. demonstrated that a moderate increase in nodule number in soybean improves field yield and protein content. Their findings propose a potential strategy to enhance yield performance in other legume crops.
