Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...
