Molybdenum (Mo) fertilization is crucial for the high grain yields. However, transition metal-dependent hormone delivery system is largely unknown. Recently, Zhang et al discovered the Mo-transporter genes MOT1;1 and MOT1;2 through a genome-wide association study (GWAS). These transporter genes orchestrate plant growth and plant productivity in soybean by facilitating Mo-dependent auxin synthesis.
