Enhanced eugenol biosynthesis through GmEGS overexpression confers broad‐spectrum pathogen protection in soybean

Soybean is a major source of plant protein and oil, yet its production is severely constrained by diverse pathogen infections. Here, we identify eugenol as a pathogen-induced defense metabolite in soybean with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against fungal, oomycete, and ba...
