Therefore, enhancing crop resistance to this pathogen is a major breeding objective. However, the signalling mechanisms underlying the response of soybean plants to\n                    <jats:italic>P. sojae<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection, and the networks and targets of key transcription factors TFs, are not yet fully understood. Here, we reveal the mechanisms and function of\n                    <jats:italic>GmERF109<\/jats:italic>\n                    , which differs in expression between soybean cultivars resistant and susceptible to\n                    <jats:italic>P. sojae<\/jats:italic>\n                    race 1 and encodes an AP2\/ERF transcription factor. Molecular evaluation and disease resistance analysis show that GmERF109 is a nucleus\u2010localized transcription factor that positively regulates soybean resistance to\n                    <jats:italic>P. sojae<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
