Knockout of the soybean phosphatase gene GmLOPP confers pathogen resistance without compromising nodulation

Enhancing plant immunity often improves resistance to pathogens, yet its consequences for beneficial symbionts remain underexplored. Here, we assessed the effects of disrupting GmLOPP, a soybean type 2 C protein phosphatase, on both immune activation and rhizobial symbiosis. Loss...
