Optimizing cytokinin distribution patterns is a promising strategy for simultaneously enhancing grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance in plants, as observed in ARGONAUTE2-overexpressing rice. Abstract Maintaining stable, high yields under fluctuating environmental conditions is a long-st...
